3 Cups Yoshita’s Gourmet Sauce
1/2 cup non iodized salt
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 cups water
Combine ingredients and allow salmon to sit in mixture
at least overnight making sure all salmon is fully covered.
Use alder wood to smoke the salmon.
After the salmon has been smoking for 4 hrs.,
I baste it with a mixture of equal parts honey,
and brown sugar that has been boiled in the microwave until the brown sugar is dissolved.
I also add coarse ground black pepper to this mixture
and with a pastry brush, brush it on the salmon 3 times during the last 4 hrs. of smoking.
