Half and half brown sugar and salt, layer fish and dry brine mixture, for about 12 hours. Remove and rinse off, put on drying rack with fan until dry to the touch. Place in smoker keep temp under 110F. If it gets too hot you will just cook it. That's okay too, except that instead of "smoked" salmon you will have "kippered" salmon.

waggler, what's your favorite for smoking chips for the salmon?
Jack It used to be alder. But then I found that my native friends in the Bristol Bay area use dead, punky cottonwood. That is now my favorite; never any acrid taste, it makes a very clean smoke

Thanks waggler. I'm pretty much with similar thoughts after several hundred pounds of Yukon kings done with punky cottonwood (actually, balsam poplar).

^^^^^^ I'm pretty sure we're taking about the same tree, but I'll bet cottonwood found in the lower 48 will have exactly the same smoking characteristics.

The balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera) in Alaska that everybody calls cottonwood smells the same as the delta-leaf cottonwood (Populus deltoides) that I have here at my place in Idaho. I suspect you're right in that they would make the same fine smoke. Again, thanks.

Will this work on any other type of fish ? Fresh water fish that is .

Enough water to cover the fish, add enough salt to float and egg. If the fish are oily 8-10 hours, dryer fish 6-8 hours. I use green maple, cherry, apple. When you take the fish out of the brine, rinse off and pat dry. If racking go ahead, if you put skin down I poke holes in the skin. If hang leave the door open on the smoker for about 20-30 min. to let the moister out.

Pretty close to how I do it.I put brown sugar in with the salt brine though.I like apple wood.I also honey glaze the fillets when they have about half hour to go.
