Ingredients

whole side of salmon, skin on

2 tablespoon maple syrup

1 tablespoon each: salt and brown sugar, mixed together

2 tablespoon wasabi peas, crushed into a powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion flakes

1/2 teaspoon chilli

1/2 teaspoon celery salt

black pepper

Method

1.Lay salmon skin-side down on a baking tray and brush 1 tablespoon of maple syrup over the fillet to evenly coat. Massage the salt and sugar cure into salmon (you may not use it all). Cover and refrigerate overnight. Remove and gently wipe off any excess cure and moisture with a paper towel.

2.Set smoker to 100°C. Combine remaining ingredients and sprinkle over salmon. Place in the smoker for 1½-2 hours, or until cooked to your liking.

In our smoker, 500g of salmon takes 25-30 minutes to cook at 100ºC. – If your have leftovers make a delicious Smoked Salmon Paté: Sauté some diced onion and garlic in a little oil in a pan on medium heat. Cook until translucent, add a little lemon zest and thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and cool. Beat some sour cream until smooth, then combine with onion and garlic. Gently fold flaked smoked salmon through sour cream mix and serve on crostini. Delicious!
