[redbone]

This is my all time favorite recipe:

Honey Cured Smoked Salmon

First you got to catch the salmon

Ingredients

1 qt water

½ cup salt

1 cup honey

¼ cup lemon juice

10 cloves

10 allspice berries

1 bay leaf

1 large fillet of salmon

Suggested wood chips: Hickory or apple

Directions

Combine all of the ingredients except salmon to make a brine. Place the salmon, skin side up, in a baking dish and cover with brining liquid. Allow fish to brine for two hours. Rinse salmon in cold water and pat dry. Place salmon on a drying rack (or grill rack that you will use to smoke the salmon on) and allow to air dry for at least 1 hour. Smoke the salmon skin side down for about 1 – 1 ½ hours at 160 degrees.

Redbone,

Do you think this would work with skinless fillets???
