    My first attempt at smoked salmon on the PBC

    I’ve done more pork shoulders than I can remember, so I figured I would try something different. I have a LOVE for salmon. Lox, fresh, whatever…it’s my favorite fish. So, I decided that, with it FINALLY being nice here that I would break out the PBC and try my hand at smoking some. Seasoning is Mrs. Dash Lemon Pepper. Started cook at 4:45 PM. I checked it at about 5:10 and moistened it with cooking spray instead of butter. Yeah, probably would taste better but I am trying desperately to lose weight. Sprayed again at 5:28
    with cooking spray. Pulled fish at 5:35. LMK what you all think!

    Very nice! I Cook salmon on the PBC ( little brother ) about every ten days or so. Cpl hrs in brine keeps it very moist n you can spice it how you like. If you have time, after you brine, pat dry n let pellicule ( sp? ) form so it will hold on to more smoke. A little brn sugar prior or peach preserves really tweeks it up! Nice cook!

      We have a subscription to Sitka Salmon Shares and get Alaskan salmon shipped to us each month, so we cook a fair amount of salmon. I don't have a PBC, so I cook our on a Weber kettle. Wet or dry brine definitely helps keep the fish moist. I usually hot smoke the salmon using cherry, apple or pecan chunks at a temp around 325 skin side down on a piece of brown paper bag. This technique usually allows the skin to stay on the paper bag. Sometimes I'll finish the flesh side down for a quick crust either on the grate, or on cast iron griddle.

        I wet brine, then a thin schmere or mayo, and a light dusting of salmon magic. Smoke at 200° until IT is 120°.
