Maple Glazed Smoked Salmon

110 min 4 servings Easy
Maple and salmon is one of nature's perfect pairings. The sweetness of the maple balances the richness of the fish, while the smoke adds depth. This is an elegant dish that's surprisingly easy to make.

Instructions

1

Cure the salmon

Mix cure ingredients and pour over the salmon in a dish. Refrigerate for 2-4 hours (or overnight for stronger flavor).

2

Dry the surface

Remove salmon from cure, pat dry, and place on a wire rack for 30 minutes until a tacky pellicle forms on the surface.

3

Smoke low

Set smoker to 200°F with maple or alder wood. Smoke salmon skin-side down for 60-75 minutes.

4

Glaze

Mix maple syrup and melted butter. Brush salmon with the glaze at the 45-minute mark and again at 60 minutes.

5

Finish

Salmon is done when it flakes easily and reaches 145°F internal. The surface should be a deep golden color.

Serving Suggestions

Serve as a main course with grilled asparagus, or flake it over salads and bagels. Keeps for 3-4 days in the fridge.
