A buddy of mine in NM just got back from doing some salmon snaggin. He's got about 115 Kokanee salmon! He's looking for tips on a brine if necessary and about how long in the smoker. I have nothing to offer him. Never done this before. Looking for some quick tips I can send him in the next few hours. They are cleaning and fileting the salmon as I type. Any info would be greatly appreciated! I have Camp Chef one of these https://greatyardmaster.com/ smokers.
Thanks

Re: Tips for Smoking Salmon
My fishing is done at the local market.
I just grind some pepper and salt on the filet.
Put fillet on a Frogmat (Q-Matz) or cedar plank in grill, skin side down.
Smoke at 225ish until IT of thickest part of fillet reaches at least 145.
