Looking for some good smoked salmon recipes

Any one willing to share im more then happy to try a bunch. My uncle and gf brought home 6 salmon 15-20lbrs from gs8.  Thanks guys

 First, Congrats on the bounty,

I have a really basic marinade I've been using for years. You can add things to spice it up but it's pretty good on its own. I use it on everything.

Simple 3 Ingredients.

By volume
1 part soy sauce, (I like Silver Swan, cheap and dark)
1 part double strength pineapple juice, (start with frozen concentrate which usually says to add 3 cans water so that's a total of 4 cans liquid. I just add 1 can and get 2 cans liquid total, =double strength)
1/2 part dark brown sugar.

Additives could be garlic, cayenne, etc, I usually go with just the 3 main ingredients.

Marinating time and smoking time is pretty much personal choice, I like strong salty flavors so I'll marinade 8hrs, then smoke at 120 till the meat starts dry out and really firm up, might bump up the temp a litle after the actual smoking is done.  2 pans of alder chips right at the beginning,  If the meat starts to get a dry surface stop the smoke as it just sits on the surface of the meat and really detracts from the flavor.

1 part pickling salt
4 parts real maple syrup
3 parts dark brown sugar
8 parts water
Garlic powder to taste


Cut salmon into desired size pieces.  Marinate overnight. Remove from the bag, pat dry.  Leave out on drying racks to form a pellicle - 4-6 hours or so depending on temperature and humidity. Use a fan if you want to speed up the process. Once the pellicle has formed, put on the smoker at ~140 for 2 hours. Brush with real maple syrup, put back on for 2 hours, repeat 2 times for a total of 8 hours on the smoker.

Enjoy delicious, sweet smoked salmon.
