Hot-Smoked Salmon and Leeks in Cheese Sauce

Smoked salmon is considered a bit of a luxury, but the cold-smoked, thinly-sliced version sold in supermarkets can be pretty pricey. And it isn't easy to make that at home. But there is a much simpler way to make smoked salmon and it doesn't require any special equipment. You can make hot-smoked salmon on the stovetop or in your oven. Also in this video, I show you how to make a simple side dish of leeks in cheese sauce. I use my air fryer to cook this, but you could also cook it in your oven.

I liked how you made a rack of bamboo skewers - working with what you have creatively. Good "down to earth" cooking - Love it!

Looks excellent! I happen to have the ingredients for the leeks in cheese sauce on hand so I’ll be sure to give it a go.

Hello from Florida, Mr & Ms Keef! Thanks for sharing your experiments with us, including the parts that don’t go exactly according to plan. That indoor smoking was a clever idea & looked quite tasty.

I'm in Thailand right now, from Sheffield. I really love your channel. Now I'm very hungry!

[rickbear]

Keef, let's have a recipe for Confit Duck leg, please. Perhaps with a complimentary French side dish?

Thank you,
Rick

Hi keef nice work again! Could you try making home made seitan stir fry? The Chinese have been at it for centuries as mock chicken. Stay safe brudda.

You shouldn't keep missus so hungry, she can't wait for the introduction :D
Looks good! I could try and find a link to an electric smoker people use in here (outdoors preferably) if youd like....
Looking forward to Sunday <3

I dunno Keef, the idea of salmon with cheese just doesn't appeal to me but I might give this a try. One thing I would REALLY like to see you do is proper Cornish Pasties which are delicious, unlike the poor attempts you find in stores.

[suradachannel]

WOW look very nice can i have Some please 😋🙏

[nikkinightwishes]

Keef, please could you tell me where you got the wood chips from/brand as I would only use it for something like this so wouldn't need a big bag.

[edgarburlyman]

Keef may be running out of British foods, perhaps he'll move on to French ones.

Keef: while the salmon is smoking...
Me: I wonder which brand of tobacco it prefers

[bella]

keefCooks you should not be doing salmon dishes unless you state use wild salmon only all store bought salmon is farmed and not a healthy option with all the cancer causing ingreidients that are involved in there feeding buyers can even request the colour of the fish bad boy keef
