Salmon Jerky

[westwind]

I take the salmon in cut it up into narrow long slices about the width of my finger or smaller, then I brine in a freezer bag for 24 hours. (Brine is just, kosher salt, brown sugar and soy sauce, and a little hot sauce). After the brine, I place on racks for the smoker and sprinkle some hot seasoning on the fish or what ever you like. Then smoke for about 1-2 hours with apple, alder, or cherry wood. ( I have a luhr jenson big chief) this smoker only goes to about 180 degrees, so the cooking time takes a long time. After smoking for 1-2 hours, I just let it keep cooking for another 10 hours until the fish has almost dried out.

People love it and makes a great snack.

looks awesome. Only question is are some bigger than your finger length ? They look big. I'm sure they are delicious though !

[westwind]

they are lonbdf than finger length, it with width that I was trying to get close to finger width.  Long strips are great.

Another option is to take what you smoke, cut it into small pieces and mix it with cream cheese for a cracker dip.

I never actually tried salmon jerky but I have heard wonderful things about it. I have always been a beef and pork jerky kind of guy but I will have to try this. It doesn't sound too hard to do
