Smoked Salmon - my best effort yet.

Caught anything lately? Post up how you cooked it here and if it was a success. Doesn't only have to be fish....

Smoked Salmon - my best effort yet.

Post by maverick »

Hey Dan, 3 hours in the smoker and I reckon it is my best effort yet. Did you a whole fish, a butterfly fillet and 2 fillets. Kept a couple of fillets for myself. Now to work out the delivery process. Only 1 left in the fridge now.

Is that hot smoked or cold smoked Mav?

I've been storing up some Mullet to smoke here but haven't tried it in my wood oven yet.

Nice! Great to hear you can turn them into something decent eating. Do you marinate them in anything before smoking?

Mariated for 3 days in a brine mix made up of onion salt, pepper, paprika & maple syrup.

They are a great fish to eat in the normally, if they are bled straight away and kept cool. Did a whole one in the oven with some lemon, garlic & butter and some crispy skin fillets on the bbq.
