Hey all, as some of you know my wife found me a Little Chief smoker last week ! So, figured after getting it cleaned up a bit I should get somethin smokin ! My fam loves smoked salmon (especially the wife) & how can ya go wrong with a smoke like that in a Little Chief ! Plus it was my way to say Thank You for finding this great smoker !

Started with a few pieces of salmon !


Fam wanted nuggets, so got them cubed up & into a simple brine for a few hours !


After the brine & rinsing them, formed the pellicle !


The wife wanted some seasoned with lemon pepper, also seasoned some with some Owen's Wing Seasoning..


Nuggets racked & loaded... Used apple chips for this smoke !


After a few hours, they were done !


These were some tasty snacks with a couple cold ones...

Thanks for lookin all !
 
I was hoping you'd get some Salmon in there!!

If I ever find some Salmon for a decent price, I'll be doing some.

It seems my Son is slacking on the "Get Salmon for Dad" thing.

Nice Job, Justin!

Thanks Bear, these were tasty & I just got lucky that they were on sale ! Hope ya can find some soon or Bear Jr can get ya some ! Thanks for the point too !
 
What did you Brine them in? What wood flavor did you use?
Do you cold smoke or hot smoke?
I have never smoked fish. But friends and family have ask me to. The only reason I haven't yet is that I need to get a smoker just for fish so that I don't change the seasoning in my meat smokers. But if you cold smoke fish I could do that in one of my grills using the amazing pellet smoker, right?
Randy,
 
I love sea food but don't like fish salmon least of all. But I would eat that and love it. It looks really good.
Randy,

Thanks Randy !

Randy,

Hey Randy, these nuggets were brined in a mixture of 2 cups light brown sugar, 1/2 cup kosher salt & 1 tbsp black pepper ! I used Apple chips for this smoke ! These were hot smoked between 150-155* til IT of 140* !

Yes, you can cold smoke salmon ! Search lox here on the forum, there's some great info ! Here's one thread that may help !
