First time smoking salmon. Boneless skinless salmon from Sam's Club. 1:4 kosher salt to brown sugar sprinkled on both sides and into the fridge for 2 hours. Then rinsed with cold water and set out for 2 hours. Two hours in smoker with 3/4 apple to 1/4 hickory.
It was good, but...
It was too salty and not smokey enough. My thoughts are reduce the salt sugar time to one hour, increase the hickory and extend the time to three hours.
Also, what about using a maple syrup for the last hour?
Ideas? Advice?
