Hot Smoked Salmon Recipes

What is HOT SMOKED, Salmon?

There are two main methods to smoke salmon: hot and cold. Both ways are used to preserve salmon and to give it a delicious smokey flavor.

Hot smoking is a signature of the Pacific Northwest. It involves thoroughly cooking salmon at temperatures between 120 and 180 F for a time when it is flaky and cooked to perfection.

Cold smoked salmon’s soft and translucent texture is a popular choice in grocery stores.

The meat is then cured in Salt for 24 to 48 hours and smoked at a lower temperature (usually 80 F) for 6 to 12 hours.

It’s best to use cold smoked salmon in cold dishes and not to cook it further.

This is because smoking occurs at a higher temperature, which is why the name “smoking” is so important.

Today’s recipe is for hot smoked salmon, which I made using my Green Mountain Pellet Smoker.

What ingredients are required to make hot smoked salmon?

• Salmon
• Brie is a mixture of Salt and water. It also contains seasonings like brown sugar, citrus zest, and garlic.
• Rub – I combined brown sugar, paprika, Salt, and pepper to rub salmon. Garnish with garlic, Salt, pepper, and olive oil.

HOT SMOKED SALMON ON A ELECTRIC PELLET GRILL. (SMOKER).

Smoked salmon was easy to make on my Green Mountain Grill. It was fun and straightforward.

After bringing, cooking, and rubbing the salmon, I placed it on the grill and put the thermometer in. Smoking it for about 4-5 hours until it reached 180 F was the ideal temperature.

How do I make SMOKED Salmon?

There are many ways to cook, and each person prefers the most effective one.

Because I wanted to smoke salmon without sugar, I tried several different methods.

Most hot smoked salmon brine recipes require the addition of brown sugar, Salt, and water.

As a salmon preservative, brown sugar is used. The final result is not too sweet if brown sugar is used in the brine.

Because I made two types of salmon, and one I wanted to be sugar-free, I made my brine using only Salt and water.

I marinated the salmon in water with Salt for 8 hours in the refrigerator. It can be done in as little as four or as long as 12 hours.

Next, I rinsed it (rinse !!!)). It was then placed on a drying rack on top of a baking sheet. I dried it in the refrigerator for 12 hours to get the pellicle.

This step is optional but highly recommended.

After you cure the salmon (brine) and dry it, the shiny layer called pellicle forms.

HOW LONG IS IT PERMITTED TO SMOKE SALMON ON AN ELECTRIC SMOKER?

Smoke salmon at temperatures between 150-180 F and until it reaches an internal temperature of 135-135 F.

The cooler the smoker’s temperature is, the better. This will ensure that the salmon stays moist and doesn’t dry out.

On the other hand, a lower smoking temperature will cook the fish for a longer time.
