Getting smoke into salmon? - TexasBowhunter.com Community Discussion Forums

4R Daddy · 04-10-2017, 09:02 PM

My salmon always turns out really good but the smoke flavor is always extremely subtle. I've had it out at restaurants at a couple different places and it has a great strong smoke flavor but I can't seem to replicate it. I use Hickory when I smoke. Any help would be appreciated.

How hot you smoking it and how long? I cold smoked some for an hour and it came out with a nice smoky flavor

I've used this recipe several times and get plenty of smoke flavor. No fishy taste either

Also depends on the type of Salmon you use. The thicker cut on Atlantic will require more smoke than Sockeye. I find the Atlantic requires more cook time, hence more smoke flavor.
