Steps:

• Dissolve the salt and sugar in the boiling water. Combine remaining ingredients. Cool to room temperature. Pour into a baggie large enough to accommodate both the brine and the fish. Be sure fish is completely immersed in brine. Soak 1-4 hours.
• Gently rinse the fish under slow running water, removing some of the brine. Remove the lid from your smoker. Tilt the rack into the smoker, using the legs of the rack to rest against the lip of the smoker. Lay your fillet, skin side down, on the rack. Place rack in a cool, well ventilated place, such as a cool oven with the door propped open. Place a small fan blowing into the oven if possible. Allow to rest until a glossy film, or pellicle forms, that feels tacky-dry to the touch, about 4-8 hours.
• Prepare your smoker using the chips of your choice, about 1/4-1/3 cup total. Start smoker on high, and when light wisps of white smoke begin to rise, turn heat down to low and cover. Smoke over very low heat. This may take 1.5-2 hours. Check occasionally. Fish should appear opaque and lighter in color.
• This may be served warm or cold, or at room temperature. If you cool it prior to serving, the skin is easily removed.
• Easy Green Mayonnaise: 1 cup mayonnaise, 5 ounces chopped frozen spinach, cooked, squeezed dry, and cooled.
• 1/4 cup fresh herb of your choice (dill, tarragon, etc.) -- Combine the ingredients in a blender or food processor, process until well blended. Serve with smoked salmon.

SAVORY SALMON BRINE FOR SMOKING

Steps:

• Prepare fish, tie strips together, etc.
• Combine all ingredients and let stand one hour.
• Marinate fish in brine for 12-24 hours, stirring or agitating every 2 hours or so. Usually go for 24 hours.
• Remove fish from brine and rinse brine off thoroughly in cold, running water.
• Let fish air dry for at least 1 hour, until the flesh gets a "tacky" surface on it.
• Place fish in smoker (do not use a barbecue). Distribute fish over racks evenly to make sure there is plenty of space between pieces.
• Fill chip pan with a 50/50 mix of alder and apple chips. A pan of chips usually takes 1 hour to burn out. Replace chips as they burn out for the first 5 hours, then every 4-6 hours for the rest of the smoking time.
• A salmon fillet will take between 8-24 hours to smoke depending on the size of the fillet and the desired amount of doneness. A 10-lb. salmon will yield 2 3.5-pound fillets that will take at least 12 hours to smoke for a soft texture. We smoke this salmon for a minimum of 24 hours to get a hard, smoked texture. (Depending on the weather, this could take 3-5 days.).
