Sounds wonderful. We love salmon so much. I am always looking for something a little different,this fits the bill. Thank you so much.


Interesting. I'm used to smoking in our Big Chief ... I will show you a picture of it it's just a smoker. But I have never smoked anything indoors, Vivian they have these indoor smokers for the top of a stove, is that what a trivet is?

is the salt and sugar a brine? and am I suppose to let it sit for awhile?



A trivet, is a kind of metal rack or can be round.The sugar, tea and rice (not salt)is not a brine, it is dry hence a lot of smoke.


Vivian, thanks for the great departure from the typical cedar smoked salmon. I have done an alternate version of this recipe for the grill. You can see it here: http://www.grouprecipes.com/89385/grilled-tea-smoked-salmon.html
