    I didn't read the directions well before smoking so didn't dry the fish or let it rest for an hour. I'm not sure if that made a difference as the salmon was excellent despite my mistakes.

    My husband took some of the leftovers salmon to work and the next time I plan to smoke salmon I have been asked to do extra. I have also used the leftover salmon in other dishes and received great complements. The salmon was very moist and tender. I purchased the salmon in the morning therefore it was mairate in the brine for 4 hours. My smoker remained at 170 degrees and it took the 3 hours to smoke the 2 fillets (6 1/2lbs). Thank you for share this recipe it is the best salmon I have had. Sherie

    I subbed 1 tsp of worchestershire sauce in place of tabasco, as I cannot have any tabasco. Because we have not tasted it with tabasco we didn't know the difference. The taste was great. In our gas smoker it only took 1 1/2 hours. Will do again.
