Smoked salmon
About the recipe
Smoking salmon is easier than you think, but so much tastier than buying it in the store. Delicious on a sandwich with a little mayonnaise, slices of home-smoked salmon and a soft-boiled egg!
You will need a cold smoker!

Ingredients and supplies
- 1 side of salmon
- 200 gr salt
- 90 g sugar
Salt/sugar ratio 70%-30%
Prep-work
If necessary, descale the salmon side. We always try to buy cleaned salmon.
Preparation
In a container large enough to hold the whole salmon (or cut into pieces), add the salt and sugar.
Mix this well.
Place the salmon in the container with the mixture, making sure the salmon is completely covered.
Leave the salmon in the salt/sugar mixture for at least 4 hours.
Preferably no longer than 6 hours, otherwise the salmon will become too salty.
Remove the salmon from the mixture and rinse well and pat dry.
Hang or place the salmon in the cold smoker.
Smoke the salmon at least twice for 12 hours. More smoking is possible according to personal taste.
Cut nice thin slices of the smoked salmon diagonally.
Delicious to make your own salmon salad.
