Method

Preparation and Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cure

    In a bowl, mix the brown sugar, sea salt, crushed black peppercorns, and crushed juniper berries to create the curing mix.

  2. 2

    Cure the Salmon

    Rub the curing mix all over the salmon fillet, ensuring it covers the fish evenly. Place the fillet in a large resealable bag, add fresh dill, and refrigerate for 24-48 hours.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Smoker

    Soak the wood chips in water for about 30 minutes. Preheat your smoker to 180°F (82°C).

  4. 4

    Smoke the Salmon

    Remove the salmon from the fridge, rinse off the curing mix, and pat it dry. Place the salmon on the smoker rack, add the soaked wood chips to the smoker, and smoke the salmon for about 2-3 hours or until it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C).

  5. 5

    Serve

    Let the smoked salmon cool slightly before slicing. Serve with lemon slices and additional fresh dill if desired.
