This recipe has been fine tuned over the years and a hit anywhere I take it.
I take my salmon fillets and cut them into boneless skinless pieces. Then I dry brine it by covering in salt, crushed red pepper, and brown sugar until nearly all of the liquid is drawn out of the fish. Rinse and place on grates to air dry and form a nice pellicle. Then smoke at a low temp with alder for 3-4 hours until fish has shrunk and cooked. During the last hour baste with honey or real maple syrup and it will darken the fish and give it a beautiful brown color. Full recipe here http://www.smoked-meat.com/forum/sho...=smoked+salmon
Once the salmon has cooled take about 10 oz smoked salmon, mince with a knife, and place in a mixing bowl.
Add:
1 pkg softened cream cheese
1/4 cup minced sweet onion
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup fancy shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Mix well, place in serving bowl and refrigerate several hours before serving.
Serve with your favorite cracker, under-salt dip recipe if you plan to serve with salted crackers, and enjoy.
