Smoked Salmon is great served
with a wine of style Match this dish with with North Mountain
Vidal Blanc or our beautifully balanced Chardonnay.
Ingredients: 3 lb Salmon Filet
1 cup Yoshida Gourmet Sauce
1 cup Wild Turkey 101
6 cans of beer (I use Miller Lite)
Glaze
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 - 1/2 cup Wild Turkey 101
Preparation: Wash salmon
filet and depending upon the size of your smoker you may need
to cut it in half. Place Salmon in a one gallon freezer
bag. Pour Yoshida and Wild Turkey into a bowl and stir
thoroughly. Pour mixture into Freezer bag with the
salmon. Marinate over night - 8 hours minimum.
Soak 6 to 10 cups of NM Smokin' Sticks and hickory chips
(or hickory and mesquite mixed) in hot water 1 to 2 hours (or
over night). Start the fire in your smoker or if it's electric
pre-heat it.
Coat smoker basket or aluminum foil covered grill with
Olive Oil. If using foil, punch holes all over with a knife so
the smoke can get through. Fill steam pan with beer, place the
fish in the basket or on the aluminum foil and pour the
remaining marinade into the steam pan with the beer. Put the
top on the smoker and put about 1 cup of the Smokin' Sticks
and wood chips (drained) on the fire. Close the smoker and let
the smoke start to roll. About every 15 minutes add more chips
to keep the smoke rolling.
Cook the salmon 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Fifteen minutes
before it's done mix the brown sugar with enough Wild Turkey
to make a syrup (about 1/4 to 1/2 cup) and pour over the
filets. Serve with Cream Cheese rolled in sliced
almonds.
