HOW TO MAKE SMOKED SALMON WITHOUT A SMOKER

This salmon lox recipe ensures that the homemade smoked salmon stays moist thanks to a simple brine and takes on an amazing amount of smoke flavor.

INGREDIENTS

Frozen salmon fillets 

Liquid smoke 

Sweetener 

Dry the salmon fillet (or individual fillets) with a paper towel.  Season each side of the fillet generously with salt and sugar.

INSTRUCTIONS 

Place it in a dish covered and allow it to cure for 12-18 hours. Rinse the salmon under cold water to remove any extra salt.

Combine the water and the liquid salt in a bowl and whisk to incorporate. Soak the salmon in the liquid smoke mixture for 6-8 hours in the fridge, flipping it every couple of hours to ensure both sides of the fillet are seasoned.

Remove the salmon from the liquid smoke mixture and dry with a towel. Let the salmon sit at room temperature on a wire rack for about 8 hours to create nice dry crust.
