HOW TO MAKE SMOKED CANDY SALMON - Full Recipe

Ready to make some delicious Smoked Salmon? This recipe is super easy to make and it turns out really good! We smoked the Salmon using a dry brine which consists of Kosher Salt and Brown Sugar. The salt basically sucks out all of the moisture in the filets and this “cures“ the Salmon. Make sure that after you brine the fish to rinse the filets in cold water and pat dry. We have posted the recipe below with instructions on how to smoke the salmon step by step. Let us know if you have any questions in the comments below and let us know how it turned it.
