Cold smoked salmon 🍣 (lox) in about 2 days
Salmon has become quite expensive. Cut the tail sections down and into two pieces so this all fits in the container to cure. Pickling salt, sugar, brown sugar, black and white pepper and dried fresh dill. Evenly distributed onto both sides of the salmon and tail pieces. Will rotate...tvwbb.com
I got this directly from the producer, nice to know people , picked it up on tuesday, the fish was slaughtered the day before.Tom, I bet you get some gorgeous salmon living there. Most times I buy salmon our Sam's club sells an organic farm raised Atlantic salmon raised in Norway. Really quite good. I tend to prefer Atlantic or King Salmon for it's higher fat content and being far easier to cook than our Alaskan (Chinook) variety. Which is VERY lean and goes from perfect to "oh s^&t" before you blink your eyes. Right now unfortunately I can't even look at a salmon thanks to having gotten food poisoning about 3 weeks ago. Wife bought some for me at local grocery store. It's an Atlantic variety raised in Chile. I'm not fond of it and typically don't bother buying it, but that night I was craving some on my smoker. So she picked it up. Well it made me violently ill. Turns out the store had a cross contamination issue with their proteins (particularly their chicken and fish). For some reason they handle both products in the same room with same equipment (knives mostly) and turns out they made more than me very sick that weekend.
From now on I'll stick to Sam's club because their fish is vacuum sealed in Norway and shipped here fresh.
That's a bummer.... Hope for swift recovery and the chances for eating salmon improving exponentiallyThat looks wonderful Tom. I still have not been able to even think about eating salmon yet.........................sadly
Darren, according to my friend it will not be any saltier. The salt inside the package is the salt it will "gain" into the fish. He"s been doing this for years with different types of preparing either vaccumed or in brine. So I have faith. Can't remember what he said we will use when smoking it, but I'll let you knowI'm curious to know whether the final product comes out salty or not. I do a mix of 1 part salt to 1 part sugar.
