Fresh WILD Alaska Smoked King Salmon by DJ LeMay
YUM!!! I cannot share my recipe.. given to me by an Alaska Native… I can share with you that I do what’s called a wet brine as opposed to a dry brine.. brine in brown sugar and salt with secret spices, dissolved in cold water, for 24-48 hours, put on racks to glaze (dry) for 6-9 hours, then smoke for several hours with alder chips.
Only slight tone curve adj. to bring up the lights in Lightroom.
Slightly cropped.

OH… MY… GOSH! This is downright evil, DJ. Can I place an order… PUHLEEZE?!?!?
lol… looks yummy to ya, ay? I’ll have to hook ya up with my brother who lives there in Hawaii… He’s coming to visit this summer and of course wants to take some home! Sometimes I can it in glass jars after smoking but it doesn’t seem to travel all that well no matter how well I pack it!! Your very welcome to come on up and try some!!Thank you for that delightful comment, Clark!! :)))

Holy crow! Does your brother live on O’ahu?
I think he WAS living on Lanai for quite awhile…. but now I think he lives on the big island… haven’t talked with him for a bit. I’ll have to give him a call!
