Mother's Day smoked salmon 2 ways

Posts: 180
Hosted my first Mother's Day Linner today! Smoked 3 lbs of salmon. Dry brine overnight. Washed brine off and let air dry in fridge for a few hours. Smoked with alder chips for about 2 hours. Dome temp around 180 to internal temp if 150. Turned out awesome.
Served as an Hors d'oeuvre on a bagel chip with cream cheese, capers, and chives.
For Linner served a smoked salmon pasta salad. All were a big hit. Check em out.
Oh, and don't forget to admire my new pink Thermapen that my husband got me for Mother's Day!!!

Egggggggcellent! Very creative- both dishes sound great.The pink thermapen is nice, but it is not as fast as green.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

Great cook and post. Have you ever cold smoked a salmon? Thinking about this very very soon....
-
Sure! The recipe is a whole foods recipe. I found some really cool and tasty hand rolled pasta at whole foods that I used instead of penne. Also left the olives on the side because I'm not a fan.
@smokeypitt- I actually got my dad the green Thermapen and the pink was faster
Whole foods recipe

1/2 cup expeller pressed walnut oil

Both the appetizer and the pasta salad look and saound amazing. Nice job. I planked some salmlon for my mom, but it was done on their gasser and I didn't take any pictures.

@milesbrown4- never cold smoked salmon. Didn't think you could do that on the egg, but could be mistaken. I thought cold smoke was at 90 degrees or so? Let me know if you try it!
-
@jamieoro - I plan to smoke it with the amazen smoker. Same way I do cheese. I will definitely post that one! Thanks.
-
=P~ WOW!!! Oh My Goodness.... I must try that pasta! My wife is going to love that recipe! Thanks in advance for the future brownie points!!

I've been wanting to try smoking some salmon - do you happen to know which kind you had? It looks great. I've grilled it on a cedar plank but haven't tried smoking it.
-
@ddegger. It was costco salmon. Farm raised I believe
-
@Jamieoro - Awesome - thanks, look forward to trying it. If you get the chance, I suggest trying the cedar plank approach (oil and preheat the plank and then grill to desired temp - medium rare for us - and season with some oil, lemon, and pepper. Very good.
