SMOKED FISH ( BRINE RECIPE AND SMOKING DIRECTIONS) RECIPE ...



Smoked Fish ( Brine Recipe and Smoking Directions) Recipe ... image

This is a long time family recipe that was recently shared with me. Looking for something different to do with fish? This is it! We usually plate this and allow everyone to serve themselves. Wonderful fresh off the smoker as well as COLD from the refrigerator as you would smoked salmon, regardless of they type of fish used. After smoking this will keep for about a week in the refrigerator. I do not care for oily types of fish done this way but many prefer them. I like to smoke whitefish, salmon, perch, or trout. Feel free to use any fish you prefer. Plan AHEAD! Need to brine for about 12 hours and smoke for about 6-8.

Total Time 6 hours 20 minutes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 6 hours

Yield 1 batch

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 -5 lbs fish, roughly
1 gallon water
1 1/3 cups canning salt
2/3 cup brown sugar

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients very well until sugar is disolved.
  • Split the fish into halves and soak them for about 12 hours (more or less) in the refrigerator.
  • Prepare your fire using charcoal and a mix of old birch (with bark removed) or apple wood or you can use just charcoal.
  • Place fish in smoker and allow to smoke for about 6-8 hours for smoking, depending on the outside temperature and how hot your smoker gets of course.

TRADITIONAL SMOKED SALMON RECIPE - WET BRINE METHOD



Traditional Smoked Salmon Recipe - Wet Brine Method image

Taking the time to smoke your salmon gives the salmon a very distinctive smoky flavor and refined texture. Enjoy this salmon warm simply on it's own, pair with cream cheese, cucumbers, or crackers as an appetizer, or layer it cooled on a bagel with cream cheese for breakfast!

Total Time 1440 minutes

Prep Time 975 minutes

Cook Time 360 minutes

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 lbs salmon (Large fillet preferred)
11.5 cups water
1 3/8 cup kosher salt
1 1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder

Steps:

  • Mix the water and ingredients together in a large pot. Bring the mixture to a boil to help dissolve the salt and sugar. Remove from heat and let cool in the fridge for 3-4 hours.
  • Rinse the salmon fillet in cold water. If the salmon still has skin, remove it at this time.
  • Cut the salmon into 3” wide by 4-5” length strips. I find this is an ideal portion size and the smoke penetrates the salmon evenly.
  • Once the brine is cooled place the salmon into the large pot of brine. Cover and refrigerate for 8-12 hours.
  • After the brining process, remove the salmon and lightly dry it. Place the salmon on some racks and let sit on the counter for 4 hours. This lets the salmon dry evenly and creates a shiny skin called pellicle. This is a crucial step because the smoke will adhere to the salmon properly.
  • Preheat your smoker: I start my smoker at 100F. I typically use maple wood for smoking Salmon.
  • Once the smoker is ready I lightly oil the grills so the salmon will not stick. Place the salmon in the smoker for two hours. After the two hours move the smoker temperature to 140F and smoke another two hours. Then turn the smoker to 175F and smoke for two more hours. This is a total of six hours.
  • If your smoker can not operate at such a low temp, smoke the salmon for 4-5 hours at 165F, or 3-4 hours at 225F.
  • Remove the salmon and place on racks to cool on your counter. Rest for one hour. After the resting, you are ready to enjoy. Refrigerate the remaining portions.

HOW TO BRINE WILD GAME | MEATEATER COOK
The most common complaint I hear about wild game is that it’s tough and dry; a symptom often the result of overcooking. The best way to counterbalance this issue is to start brining your meat. Salt can dramatically enhance juiciness, and in my opinion, is the most essential ingredient in your pantry...
From themeateater.com
  • This recipe makes roughly half a cup. When ready to use, season gamebirds over and under the skin with only as much salt as needed to lightly cover. You don’t want to make it so salty that it needs rinsing. Let the seasoned meat rest in the refrigerator for 24 to 48 hours uncovered. Pat the skin very dry before cooking.
