June 9, 201610 yr Made this tonight. Very delicious! I wimped out a bit on the amount of spices, but will lay it on heavier next time. Thanks BVM!
September 22, 201610 yr Author Think I'm going to make some more of this this weekend. Might tinker with the recipe just a little...cut down on the red pepper flake a tad, and add some white pepper to the mix.
September 26, 20169 yr Author So, smoked two salmon fillets Saturday night, adjusting my spice mix a little...less red pepper flake, little more course ground pepper, cracked pepper corn and dried lemon peel, and added a little white pepper and ancho chili powder to the mix. Had a wild caught sockeye salmon fillet, and a farm raised fillet. They are quite different, the wild caught does have a stronger flavor for sure. Both turned out excellent! My smoker would not get as hot as I like, think I have a bad tank and the flow rate is bad, so kept them on the smoker longer than I normally would, about 2 1/2 hours. Very good smoke flavor (mix of hickory and apple wood chips) and the spice rub (laid it on heavy) was spot on. If you are a salmon fan I think you would really like it.
