    Brined Salmon - how long will it keep if I can't cook it now?

    Hey guys..

    Was going to smoke some salmon tonight that I bought on Friday, but we apparently have a huge storm coming that might have half dollar size hail (according to the weather dudes).

    It's dark as midnight here so thinking we're gonna get slammed - and since I have no idea how to cook brined salmon INDOORS am wondering..

    Will this still be good tomorrow?  That's 3 days from the time I bought it which I always thought was iffy..and now it's brined so not sure what that does to shelf life.

    Thanks for any/all help!

      If you've kept it cold and it's been brined, you'll be fine. The brine will act as a preservative for a while. It's best to have it dried in the fridge to form a pellicle (slightly sticky surface) before you smoke it.

      Well, wound up giving it and doing it <gasp> BROILED!

      I did douse it pretty good with DP Raging River, tho.

      Edible.  But killed me not to be able to fire up the gear tonite!
