First thing you will need of course is some fish, preferably frzn first and then thawed out. Freezing your fish first will help to break down the meat's enzymes making it easier to accept a brine and speeding up the curing process.
Mix brine ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. As this is a dry brine recipe, no liquids should be added.
You will need a large 2-inch deep pan to cure fish in. Place fillets skin-side down in your pan and coat heavily with brine ingredients. Cover with a piece of foil or possibly Saran wrap and place in refrigerator for 24 hrs.
After salmon has cured for 24 hrs remove from refrigerator and rinse fillets off in cold water. Pat dry with paper towels and place on smoker rack.
If desired a stronger tasting smoked salmon as I do, you can pepper lightly and brush fillets with liquid and brine left over in the bottom of the tray you used to brine your fish.
Use either alder or possibly apple wood for smoking. Smoke to desired doneness. Depending on the size and thickness of the fillets you are smoking, it can take anywhere from 4 to 6 hrs to smoke.
Description: "This recipe is a family recipe used by our family for years. It works not only for salmon but trout and sturgeon as well"
