How long for smoked salmon?

[Gregg M.]

Looking to smoke some salmon today. I found a recipe that includes brining, rinsing off, and sitting out for a little while before smoking.

My plan is to get the smoker up to around 225.

What timeframe should it take to finish?

Thanks in advance.

Not very long for the actual smoking part. Depending on the thickness you are looking at a little over an hour. I cook salmon to about 140.

Hey, Gregg....like Brian said, it doesn't take very long at all

I don't brine, but merely season with salt , pepper, and plenty of dill...smoke around 225* with alder wood to an internal temp of no more than 130*...by the time you plate the salmon it'll be 135*+

Serve with melted dill butter

.... To buy a little extra smokin time, go directly from fridge to smoker... it still only takes 30-40mins .... but, gives the smoke a few extra mins to work it's majic
