Dry Brine Smoked Salmon Preparation: Dry brine mix: 4 cups of dark brown sugar 1 cup of rock salt or Kosher Salt, 1 Tbsp Crumbled Garlic flakes mix and multiply relative to the amount of salmon. Place serving size pieces of salmon, skin side down on the bottom of a plastic bucket and sprinkle enough of the dry brine mix to just cover the flesh of the salmon. Continue to layer salmon in the bucket, again, skin side down, and apply the brine mix to each layer until all of the salmon is in the bucket. Store in cool area (40-60 degrees) for 4 to 10 hours depending on thickness of pieces. Add 1 container of Apple Juice, mix and free up salmon pieces from brine syrup, let sit for a half hour Rinse each piece of salmon with cold water and pat dry and place on smoker racks. Allow the salmon to air-dry for at least one hour. The longer the fish sits on the smoker rack, drying, the deeper the "glaze" or color of the final product. Smoking: Begin smoking, adding smoke chips every two hours. Wood chips such as alder, apple or cherry seem to give the best flavor. Depending on outside temperatures, begin checking the salmon after four hours. This is a critical part of the smoking process. Temperatures and individual heat from smokers will affect the cooking time. Also, do your smoking outdoors to prevent fire. Successful batches of smoked fish are usually removed from the smoking process when the fish is considered "cooked" in the early stages. Caution: Do not overcook. Overcooked smoked salmon is dry and hard. Also, overcooking a northwest salmon borders on a criminal offense. Enjoy
