Luke1 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) Last week on friday, my dad taught me how to smoke Atlantic Salmon. Ill give you some tips and some pictures. My Dad Recommends using fruit tree wood for the smoking, he personally uses Plum Tree Wood to smoke We usually do it in a batch of 6 though, so not sure if its the same with 1 Salmon We also would put the fish in around 4-5PM, and take it out 8-9AM next day [1]Firstly you'll sprinkle salt onto the salmon itself, inside and out. [2]Then in the smoker, heat it up to around 60, then put the Salmon in [3]Try get the smoker to around 30-40 Degrees [4]My dad would usually keep it in for around 16 Hours, and 30-40 Degrees, though over time it will get cooler [5]Take the salmon out 16 hours later. Note that these salmon at 3-4KG in weight, so it may be different for different for other Salmon And the result Hope this help you all Luke1 Edited July 23, 2009 by Luke1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever i smoke fish i always do at least 2 fish because i always devour 1 hot. Normally have a few mates around at the same time. It is unreal hot! You can have it cold on a fresh piece of bread or on cracker. Either way it is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke1 Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 doesn't bother me, hot or cold to be honest, though i do prefer it to be warm, but cold is just as good Luke1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Loops Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Ditto with KiwiDan above - make sure you do two because one will be devoured straight out of the smoker - delicious! One of our favourites is smoked tailor the flesh is suited to a 25 minute 'hot smoke'. The kids love it Try it out Gary!! Cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
