Ingredients:

  • 5 quarts water
  • 2 cups kosher salt
  • 2 cups salt
  • 2 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 1 cup honey
  • 3 drops tabasco sauce (to taste)
  • 1 dash allspice (to taste)
  • 1 dash lemon juice (to taste)
  • 1 dash black pepper (to taste)
  • 8 -10 lbs salmon

Directions:

  1. Mix all ingredients well. We use a 5 gallon bucket.
  2. Place Salmon in the bucket, cover, and marinade overnight (no more than 24 hours).
  3. We smoke our Salmon with apple chips on an electric smoker set for 180-200 degrees and takes anywhere from 4-6 hours to complete the process depending on how many pounds of fish are getting smoked.
  4. With 15 minutes to go, you can brush with Grand Marnier (optional). ENJOY!
