We really enjoyed watching this video, my dad smokes salmon and you gave him some great ideas to try. He has never done the curing stage and will try it in his next batch. How many times do you use the brine? Do you refrigerate or freeze the brine between uses? Thank you again!
Very nice. My recipe is a bit simpler. Smoked salmon is hard to beat. I even make a spread using my smoked salmon -- great on bagels, crackers, etc. Hope you'll take a look sometime. Thanks for a great video!
I always just take the fish out of the brine, skewer one end with a toothpick and hang it on a drying rack with the brine still on the fish, (most of the brine will drip off in the drying process) and it make for a nice glaze and it tastes fantastic! I just finished another batch this evening and I'm now waiting for it to dry. I'm not sure if it can be frozen, I think I'll try freezing some of this batch to see how it goes.
LOOKS KILLER! I have the same question as the rest... The drying phase -- you are drying the fish on the rack -- for 24-36 hours -- but it looks like you're doing this at room temperature? Is that correct, or are you moving it to the fridge? Thanks!
@SuperiorChrome , Hi SupChrome, we smoke our fish at approx. 165 deg.F and there is no water pan involved in the process. Hope you enjoy your first batch of Indian Candy.
OMG That looks awesome! We live in Alaska and go dipnetting in the Copper River every year for our salmon and I cannot WAIT to try this recipe!!! Awesome video! Great job! Thank you!
DId you leave the salmon out for 24 hours to dry naturally? Or did you put them in a dryer/smoker without chips for the first 24 hours to get it see-through, and then add the smoking chips for the last 7?
I started this recipe yesterday. I have a suggestion for others. Heat the water first to dissolve the salt and demerera. Mine didn't dissolve and I had undissolved solids at the bottom of the bucket.
Mine has been in brine for close to 24 hours with little moisture out of the fish. I wonder if more salt would be better.
The oral recipe refers to using one litre of pure maple syrup. It looks like you used 500 ml of maple syrup and 500 ml of Rogers Golden Syrup.
Great video, do you just let it dry in ambient air or in the fridge and at what temp do you have your smoker at? I can't wait to try this, I can taste that beer now lol.

Hello: I have a question. When you are soaking the fish in the brine, are you keeping it refrigerated or at room temperature?
Thanks!

Hi mplemke,

I'm guessing the answer is no, but do you wash the brine off before smoking? Also, can it be frozen after?

Just wondering what temp you're smoking the fish at and are you using a water pan at all during smoking? Can't wait to give this one a try.

I love finding great vids like this. You said it was fine to eat without the smoking right? The smoking was just for flavor not safety...
