SMOKEHOUSE NATURAL HONEY SMOKED SALMON
I’ve tried a lot of brines through the years but this one really works out nice. Sometimes simple things are just art by nature and this proves it. I like to start with fresh firm salmon fillet(s). How you obtain the fish is up to you but remember this is an all natural recipe so try to use the most natural fish you can get. Always clean the fish well and cut off any ragged edges then cut into consistent size chunks.
The recipe is just about as basic as you can get; mix up equal parts of raw sugar and sea salt. The raw sugar I used is from Hawaii and the sea salt is from Spain but your ingredients could come from anywhere as long as they’re natural. After you have stirred the two dry ingredients together lay out a ¼” thick layer in a flat bottom plastic container and lay your fish skin down ( if you leave the skin on) in the mix. Now cover everything with the dry mix and start another layer of fish cover with mix again and so on. Cover the container with plastic wrap or it’s cover (if you want to get fancy) place it in the fridge for 24 hours. Feel free to reduce or extend that time a few hours, whatever comes naturally.
When the brine time is up, remove the fish from the brine. You may be amazed at the amount of liquid your “dry brine” has become. Rinse the pieces with water and place on the smoker grills to dry. Once the fish has dried to a pellicle (shiny dry exterior) take a barbeque brush or a cheap china boar bristle paint brush and “paint” the honey on the flesh side of the fish placing pieces skin side down (if you leave the skin on) on smoker grills. Slide grills into your Big Chief or Little Chief smoker. Burn 2-3 pans of Smokehouse Alder Chips. Attention: Serious Nature Freaks. If you really want to turn up the flavor, mix Smokehouse Hickory, Apple and Alder chips evenly in the chip pan. Let your Chief smoke for at least 4 hours. Much more if you like.
Remove your masterpiece from the smoker when desired texture is reached. Allow the product to cool and Enjoy. Now that’s naturally smoked fish and Honey, it’s good!
