Splendid Slow Smoked Salmon

Simply the best way to cook salmon is what I am about to show you. It has simple ingredients, but does require time and diligence.

You'll need:

• 1 - salmon fillet (I had it cut in half)
• saltwater brine (2 tablespoons sea salt/cup of water - make sure sea salt is stirred well to dissolve and soak fish for 2 hours)
• olive oil for basting (baste every hour or so while slow smoking)
• wood chips for smoking (I used soaked hickory chips wrapped in foil, plus thumped a few extra chips in later in cooking after original chips played out)

Fill smoker pan with water. Place fillets on foil on the rack to keep fish from sticking. Slow smoke for eight hours and then enjoy. Best stuff on earth. I used a Brinkman Electric Smoker, but any smoker on low heat will work.
