Salmon smell to Pork Chop

[Guest]

Help, I just cooked thick 1 1/2 inch boneless pork chops. My family loved the cherry wood smoked chops. They went to 160F and were much superior to my shoe-leather tuff grilled ones I normally make.

However, they smelled like the salmon I smoked last.

What did I do wrong?

Steve,

Well with fish especially Salmon you have two choices. Choice A is to clean everything and I mean everything that the Salmon juices touched with Simple green or Orange clean and take it to an old fashioned car wash or use a pressure washer if you have one. Then next time you can do B which is to fashion or buy a shallow foil pan and cook the Salmon in that.

You are learning by doing and I have the highest respect for that.

Thank-you sir...it never is quite as easy as you anticipate. I only wonder if I overcooked the salmon (pulled at 172F) enough that the Mrs. won't want it for a while.
