Hello Everybody,
I've been wanting to try this brine mix that I picked up at Bass Pro Shop awhile back. Yes, it says it's for trout, but, I'm sure it's good for just about any fish. I also found some nice looking salmon at the store the other night, and decided it was would be a great weekend to smoke some salmon. I cut the salmon into some strips, made the brine, and set it in the fridge overnight. I rinse and patted the salmon dry, and let it sit for 30 minutes, per the instructions. I smoked the salmon, using alder wood, and kept the vents near shut, just a little air into the grill. I let the salmon smoke for about an 1hr. It came out perfect!!!!! Just a tad on the salty side, but, very good flavor! I would do this again with the other packet inside the box. Thanks for looking![Smile :) :)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png)
