Thank you so much for this great recipe. I started the process 3 days ago and followed your instructions exactly. We just had it for dinner and it was the best smoked salmon we’ve ever had. Everyone loved it. I’ll be making another batch in the coming days and freezing some. Thanks again!!!! ❤️

Its becoming a yearly tradition to make this recipe in winter. Most of it goes to my family, they love it. Keep up the good work !

I even like seeing the "paid promotion" That was the first time I'd seen that webber grill with the cold smoke option. Good presentation.

Your salmon looks gorgeous! 🥰 I'm going to use your recipe to cold-smoke locally caught wild trout. Thanks very much for sharing 👍

Made this a few days ago - loved your video, it came out better than the shop bought salmon. I vacuum packed slices of the smoked salmon and froze them - should keep me going for the next few weeks

And once you made your sandwich, you must let it rest ... for 24 hours

[briangleason]

This is the best looking smoked salmon I have ever seen. Thank You. I also like all the ingredients you put on sandwich. God Bless.

Sooo unfair!! You make me hungry!! Thank you sooo much for sharing your step by step instructions, really appreciate it. I will surely give a try.

Great vid! Thanks for this. I am getting ready to do my own salmon here in Texas. We have to buy it but we like it. We like most anything cured and smoked. Thanks Again.

I my gosh, the sandwich looks so appetizing that I almost swallowed my tongue😛

[glenregan]

OMG... once again you are killing me. I loved living close to NYC, but left years ago. I loved getting, on Sunday, what you made. I need to just do it!! make it!!! Thanks

[Schecter]

Huge difference with today's videos... Much more enthusiastic and lively! Great video, as always

[JuliJuli]

Will definitely try it. Love smoked salmon!

[acsacs-wiwz]

Do you allow time for a pellicle to form after you rinse the salmon?

[gerhardmoeller]

Thanks Pitmaster! Tried it...turned out fantastic. Doing two large fillets tomorrow. The apricot touch is very special! Wrote down and shared your technique with many friends...all great reports. Keep up the great work!

Very Nice Technique. Consider adding a tray of ice in your smoke chamber to keep that temperature down < 68F. I use Maple to smoke my Atlantic Salmon. Doing this in the winter helps keep temp down too. Enjoy!

I do this regularly and never use plastic. People have been doing this before plastic was invented. Help save the environment, there is no shortage of people on youtube willing to show this the traditional way, and it's much more satisfying. Not to mention, an easy way to impress your guests. Cheers.

Still remember my folks salmon smoking process, from back in 1950's and early '60's. There's was bone-in. Only used rock salt and miniscule black pepper. Wood was local oak. Results were still amazing.

That sandwich looks fantastic. Au Bon Pain sells something similar which has a sweet wasabi sauce added, minus the capers. It has cucumber and scallions on it, but it is very similar. TY for the video

👍 i use your Nova Lox recipe about 4 years, but i use a different amount of salt and sugar. 4 Cups of Brown Sugar and 1 Cup of table salt. My family asks me to smoke some salmon for Christmas every year. So you know what i do next week. 😁.
