Smoked Salmon Glaze Recipes

Salmon is one of the most versatile fish on the market, showing up in salads, on bagels, and even served as a mousse, but a nice piece of smoked salmon just needs a touch of a smoked salmon glaze recipes available to create a spectacular dinner.

Smoking is a fantastic way to get a deep and complicated flavor imparted to your food without overpowering its natural taste. Usually, when smoking food a spice rub is used to enhance the smokey flavor and to help the food develop an enticing crust. But salmon is a delicate fish, so rather than rub the spices in (and, yes, you could just sprinkle the spice rub on the fish), I like to use a glaze.

As I covered in my smoked crown pork recipe article, smoking is a pretty simple procedure, all it takes is a little preparation. In order to smoke anything, you will need some smoking wood chips, about 72 ounces, and three large pieces of foil. Soak 48 ounces of the wood chips in cool water for at least an hour and then drain them. Separate the wet chips into thirds, placing one third on each of the sheets of foil. Top the wet chips with the dry chips. Fold the foil into a packet and poke holes in the top.

Now that you have smoking packets ready, it’s time to prepare your smoked salmon glaze recipes.
