I'm sure there are better ways to skillet fry salmon then what I did. sooo.... What should I do next time around? I love it on a smoker. I've got one of these: http://tinyurl.com/ydkc2gq Put the salmon on there for an hour with some mesquite chips and it's done. Very good. Daaaaayyyyemmmm. I got to put up some pictures of my smoker so you and loogie can see what a real smoker looks like. Not a "big box" BBQ  I needed one I could take to Germany and Korea with me. This bugger has done just fine, I'll have you know. No problem BBQ boy! I guess you get a pass for that one. I have to make a new smoker barrel, I haven't decided if I want to make it from wood, or two 55 gallon barrels cut and welded like old one. Some time (when it's warm!) I'll take some pictures of my stuff, including my whole hog pit. Real southern BBQ! |

This is one of the things you learn on an Alaska trip. :-) My vote is for grilled on tin foil with a lot of chopped onions. If nothing else the smell of it cooking wil drive you crazy. |

Oven version... If a fillet,wrapped in foil skin side down (with the top open) in a baking dish with little bits of butter, some salt and pepper, cover liberally with pan fried onion (sliced) and slices of lemon with fresh lemon juice squeezed directly on the fillet. Bake at 325 for approx. 15 - 20 minutes. Monitor closely, time is based on size. Protect the tail section from overcooking with thicker lemon slices. Serve it with the onions. Discard the lemon slices. Make certain you don't dry it out. If finished right, it'll melt in your mouth. Doing the same thing in foil on a covered BBQ is even better. |

Do as the native indians do smoke it with alder wood for mellow flavor. dp_diddly |
