Fish Smoking question

Postby LisaMarie » Fri May 27, 2011 9:59 am

I have two salmon fillets, one in a soy sauce brine and one in a dry brine. My question is the soy sauce brine calls for 1 hr soak and the dry calls for 6hr soak. Can I air dry the soy sauce pieces for the duration until the dry brine pieces are done and smoke all at once? Or do I need to smoke them seperately?

Hey LM!
Sorry for not getting back to you earlier on this!

The answer to your question is yes! You can air dry and smoke the two recipies together.

However, the six-hour brine time for the dry cure is usually followed by a fresh water rinse and the air-dry clock starts then. So, you'll have a little bit of a time lag between the two recipies.

Start the dry process first (you mentioned six for the dry vs one for the soy so five hours before right?) and then air dry and smoke the two together and tell Tobeck and I when it's done! :lol:

I think that last part is key. Making sure to tell the tasters when it is done is the only way to insure that you have done a good job :D
