True.

Also smoke with apple chips and glaze with a brown sugar syrup is a good way.

Sent you contact info to the best salmon smoker I know and also sent him a heads up that you have some questions!

Agree 100%.   Where did you catch the kokanee?  Holter?

Here's one you won't be disappointed in......Best smoked salmon recipe I've ever had. 

Brine:
4 cups water
2 cups soy sauce
2 cups apple juice
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup canning or pickling salt
2 Tablespoons whole black peppercorns
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground pepper


I usually soak it in brine at least overnight and then smoke with hickory.  I have found the brine has a hard time penetrating the skin...fillets work the best.  I tend to tone down the pickling salt from what I listed, otherwise it gets a bit to salty for my taste.  Hands down the best smoked salmon I've had.

Bet V-dawg's deal would also work great with a turkey.  I'd back WAY off the salt because of the soy.

1 cup canning/pickling salt

1cup brown sugar

1cup molasses

1 1/2 cups white sugar

Works great for salmon, turkey, pheasant, pike and ever paddlefish.

Mix ingredients in a 5 gallon pail with a little hot water to disolve everyhing.  Add some cold water and put what ever you want to smoke in pail and fill with cold water.

I will inject some of the brine into a turkey after adding some cold water to dilute the brine a little bit.    I will soak for at least 24 hours most times 48 hours in my spare fridge.  When you take meat out pat it dry before putting in smoker.
