A word about salmon, which is my favorite just ahead of walleye
and the elusive vajayfish.
I've cooked it many ways, and it's the sushi I prefer when I am out having that. I love salmon, and have had many varieties and loved them all.
Always skin it. Always. Otherwise the flavor of the meat will be different from what it should be. Maybe some people like that, I don't because it interferes with whatever you are putting on it to enhance the flavor. There is a layer of fat between the skin and the meat that makes the meat a little greasier than it should be and I don't like that.
Smoke that fish any way you want to, it'll come out great. It might be the best fish for smoking that you can have. Plain, with different chips, different rubs, any way you want. It holds up in the smoker like a chicken!
At least once in your life slice it into one inch thick strips, like sushi but thicker, and steam it in a veggie steamer. No oil, no nothing. Just the steam and the meat. It's melt in your mouth delicious. Just lay it out and let it cook for a minute or so, covered of course. Man the flavor is great. If you've ever had quick seared tuna it's like that but even cleaner with more flavor.
@Selassie I how many pounds of meat did you get out of that thing and go get some salmon and smoke that crap it's delicious
