Honey, Siriacha,Teriyaki, brined Salmon

Options

Had a birthday party for a friend last week. This was my contribution for the dinner feast. I took a salmon filet and brined in a mixture of salt brown sugar,  White wine and water, for about 3 hours. Took out of fridge and rinsed patted dry, coated with EVO, and layered on my rub, black pepper, Kosher salt, lemon pepper.  Set up egg for indirect using my adjustable rig at 225 using a handful of apple chips. Oiled grate and placed Salmon in egg, then covered with thin slices of orange.   let that smoke until the first signs of fat rendering out of salmon. Then I applied a generous layer of my glaze, Honey, Sriracha, and Teriyaki, waited about 10 minutes and coated it again.  It was a great hit with all the guests. Even my wife said I hit it out of the park, she is not a fan of my Salmon experiments. I have had some failures in the past.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    I was very pleased with how the brine kept the moisture in the fish.  I would be careful with adding extra salt before cook though, next time I wont ad any after brining.  Everyone raved about it but Mrs Cactus said hers was little salty. She's getting kind of picky, as she is ages!
