7.  2 hours before you are ready to smoke the fish, remove from refrigerator.

8.  Scrape off the slurry mixture and place into wire sieve to drain... the    

 

desired outcome is to save all of the little pieces of crab boil.

9.  Place salmon filet flesh side up on baking sheet and pat dry. (Do not   

 rinse).

10.  Spread the remaining bits and pieces of crab boil on the fish flesh.

11.  With great restraint carefully criss-cross a very thin line of black strap  

 

molasses on the salmon flesh over the top of the crab boil pieces.

12.  At this point you have two choices:

 

A. Allow the toppings on the fish to dry naturally until ‘tacky’ to the    

 

     touch - this takes quite a while and not recommended.

 

B. Use a hair dryer or a fan on low setting to speed up the drying process  

 

     until the toppings on the fish are ‘tacky to the touch. 

13.  Prepare your smoker to a temperature of approximately 250°F degrees.  

 

For this dish I recommend alder, cherry, apple or other soft woods or a  

 

combination.  This is a good dish to use the water pan in your smoker. 

14.  Use your hands placed in support under the fish filet to lift and place  

 

flesh-side down on the grates so the grates cross the fish side-ways (not  

 length-wise).

15.  Smoke for between 1 - 2 hours depending upon the heat of your smoke,  

 

the number of filets you are smoking and the thickness of the fish - a  

 

good target for the internal temperature of the fish is 130°F - 140°F            

 

degrees, this will ensure the meat is cooked and produce a soft (not    

 

gravlox!) yet firm texture.

16.  Remove grate from smoker (use gloves to protect from heat!) with fish  

 

still on it and place a baking pan on the top of the fish then ‘flip’ the fish  

 

and grate so the baking sheet is on the bottom.

17.  Remove the grates from fish the grates will have heated and ‘split’ the  

 

fish giving an appearance of having scored the flesh with a knife.

18.  Place in refrigerator to hold until ready to serve with dark breads, sliced  

 

red onions, cream cheese, lemon wedges, capers, etc.
