Cold Smoked Salmon

Step 1

Dry salmon fillet with paper towel. Season each side of the salmon generously with salt and sugar. Place in fridge for 12-18 hours.

Step 2

Rinse salmon under cold water to remove extra seasoning. Dry with a paper towel.

Step 3

Combine liquid smoke with water in a bowl.

Step 4

Soak the salmon in a liquid smoke mixture, it may not all be covered so you would need to turn salmon once in a while. Keep salmon soaking for 6- 8 hours.

Step 5

Remove salmon from liquid smoke and dry with a towel. Let salmon sit in a room temperature on a wire rack for about 8 hours, it will create nice dry crust all around.

Step 6

Slice salmon and serve as you wish. Salmon can be stored for up to a week in a fridge.
