i recommend only fresh salmon for this cure and smoke. frozen will not come out the same and the texture will be way off. and farm raised salmon, not wild. king salmon, fresh would be best but that's hard to source locally.I wouldn’t stop posting this cook if I was you…..I love it.
Always looks really good……I don’t make it but I wish I did.
Just re arranged the large freezer, Found my 6 large pieces of vac’d salmon!
Especially in this state. The closed the salmon season due to a massive decline in salmon population. The problem is, the massive decline is the result of an excess of seals and sea lions that are destroying the salmon population, but true to state politics, the seals and sea lions are left unchecked and their number exceed what fish and game calls for, not by a little, but by a lotfresh would be best but that's hard to source locally.
Get cracking! This is another easy near zero effort protein. Smoked or not, it’s quite good!I love seeing your posts when you do this. The thin slices are what makes it. I haven't made any yet this year, but I really need to get on it.
Why apologize for facts? No pushback from me here.Looks crazy good. Sorry about the rant in my 1st post
Here's a great book that demonstrates how to get those ultra thin slices.It’s been on and off rain here and wife wanted lox for the bagels we bought yesterday. So no time to smoke but the flavor of the salmon was great. First time I haven’t smoked the lox.
Always fun to see how thin I can get my slices. The goal is to see the knife through each slice. Mission accomplished.

1 Hour Bagels — Brian Lagerstrom
Bagels that are chewy and taste great from scratch in an hour might seem crazy, but it’s possible! Follow this easy one hour bagel recipe for legitimately great tasting, fresh bagels at home.www.brianlagerstrom.com
Yeah. How it ferments and adds flavor is key to texture and flavor. Note, some bagels are boiled in a lye solution. So a beer ferment for the yeast and flour makes sense.Interesting….beer bagel!?!?
That holds weight coming from a Swiss gent. Hat tip to you guys for the age old tradition and inspo.Beatiful. Just beautiful
I’ve always and only used fresh fish. The protein texture changes once it’s frozen.That’s very cool.
On the nova, what are you thoughts on using a previously frozen salmon purchased from a place like wild fork?
