Ingredients: 

1 pound salmon

1 tbsp pepper flakes

1 tbsp fennel

1 tbsp dill

½ tsp salt and sugar 

Directions: 

1. In one bowl, mix ½ tsp salt and sugar together with other seasonings of your choice ( 1 tbsp pepper flakes, 1 tbsp fennel, 1 tbsp dill, etc..).

2.  Once you’re done curing your 1 pound salmon, you end up with gravlax which is graved salmon filled with seasoning.

3. In order to have that perfect salmon to bisquette flavor ratio, smoke your salmon for 6 hours. Cold smoke with maple bisquettes. The temperature is always below 100 F (37.8C). Once you’re done smoking it, you can now enjoy the delicious taste of salmon!
