    Trying another batch sounds like a good call. Go ahead and ship that batch down to me!

    You got some nice color on that. Was that the rib half of the loin? That's my favorite.

    With a longer soak and rest you can dial the saltiness about anywhere you want it.

    I have no idea what side of the loin it was and the color in the photo is better than actual.That said a coworker told me today he'd pay me to make more of your smpked salmon I said I'll be happy to make more he just needs to cover the cost of the fish

    The rib end has a couple of muscles that take the color well, about 1/3 of the way you can see the color change between the muscles and the sirloin end is back to one muscle, which doesn't take the color as well. The rib end is a little fattier and (I think) more flavorful.

    I cured and somked some steelhead on Sunday...the cure time was 4-1/2 hours, and I rinsed and rested about 3 hours. I'll be doing more of that soon.

    Now I know it was the rib end and I agree the deeper colored portion has more flavorj
