Lots of lurking lately, but no posting. Figured I needed to go big or go home. Fresh Market had some nice salmon filets this week. Did this brine according to the Naked Whiz recipe:
On Christmas Eve at around 180 degrees. Some alderwood for smoke:
After seven hours:
Chilled in the fridge overnight, then served Christmas morning with bagels, cream cheese, onions, capers, etc
Followed that up with a 25lb turducken shipped in from Hebert's Meats:
On at 0530 (even beat the kids in getting up first on Christmas morning). 250 indirect, pecan for smoke:
After 7 hours. Internal temp over 160, with clear juices:
Super moist:
Merry Christmas to all!
