How To Cold Smoke Salmon - Delicious Salmon Bagel

[@chickerd4928]

Thank you so much for this great recipe. I started the process 3 days ago and followed your instructions exactly. We just had it for dinner and it was the best smoked salmon we’ve ever had. Everyone loved it. I’ll be making another batch in the coming days and freezing some. Thanks again!!!! ❤️

[@Furn427]

And once you made your sandwich, you must let it rest ... for 24 hours

[@SaltyFeta]

😂😂😂

[@mayssacheraz6480]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@MetalGuitarist18]

Hahahaha gold 😂😂

[@nestyles11]

Omg 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

[@markwybierala4936]

Perfect. 😂

[@Killagoat]

Its becoming a yearly tradition to make this recipe in winter. Most of it goes to my family, they love it. Keep up the good work !

[@Lumencraft-]

I even like seeing the "paid promotion" That was the first time I'd seen that webber grill with the cold smoke option. Good presentation.

[@acsacs-wi8wz]

Do you allow time for a pellicle to form after you rinse the salmon?

[@mhur11]

Made this a few days ago - loved your video, it came out better than the shop bought salmon. I vacuum packed slices of the smoked salmon and froze them - should keep me going for the next few weeks

[@leledemar]

Not any instantcure#1 used? I use to cold smoke during the winter too, but adding 1/1000 of curing salt in order to avoid any bacterial problem. What's your opinion on that?

[@katharina...]

Your salmon looks gorgeous! 🥰 I'm going to use your recipe to cold-smoke locally caught wild trout. Thanks very much for sharing 👍

[@advanced-electronic]

That sandwich looks fantastic. Au Bon Pain sells something similar which has a sweet wasabi sauce added, minus the capers. It has cucumber and scallions on it , but it is very similar. TY for the video

[@arunapeeters4262]

Sooo unfair!! You make me hungry!! Thank you sooo much for sharing your step by step instructions, really appreciate it. I will surely give a try.

[@Schecter1989]

Huge difference with today's videos... Much more enthusiastic and lively! Great video, as always

[@briangleason5597]

This is the best looking smoked salmon I have ever seen. Thank You. I also like all the ingredients you put on sandwich. God Bless.

[@zuutlmna]

Still remember my folks salmon smoking process, from back in 1950's and early '60's. There's was bone-in. Only used rock salt and miniscule black pepper. Wood was local oak. Results were still amazing.

[@oddgreen]

When I do it I also use crushed white pepper corn. Really nice video

[@Forevertrue]

Great vid! Thanks for this. I am getting ready to do my own salmon here in Texas. We have to buy it but we like it. We like most anything cured and smoked. Thanks Again.

[@PITMASTERX]

Awesome!! my pleasure!!

[@tomostrowski6628]

Can you please share where do we buy the Wusthof knife?

[@gerhardmoeller774]

Thanks Pitmaster! Tried it...turned out fantastic. Doing two large fillets tomorrow. The apricot touch is very special! Wrote down and shared your technique with many friends...all great reports. Keep up the great work!

[@glenregan9760]

OMG... once again you are killing me. I loved living close to NYC, but left years ago. I loved getting, on Sunday, what you made. I need to just do it!! make it!!! Thanks

[@PITMASTERX]

+Glen Regan Thanks Glen... it's easy to do and much cheaper 👍👍

[@glenregan9760]

Yes it is... I have the amazing pellet smoker coming with 5 pounds of pellets. When it gets here I get the Salmon and do it on my Primo XL. Thanks

[@Metoobie]

I do this regularly and never use plastic. People have been doing this waaaaay before plastic was invented. Help save the environment, there is no shortage of people on youtube willing to show this the traditional way, and it's much more satisfying. Not to mention, an easy way to impress your guests. Cheers.

[@roberthamrick9711]

I was unable to tell in the video…is the skin removed from the salmon filet? Or, does it matter? I want to give this a try and, before I start, want to know if I should leave the skin on or not.

[@squange20]

Great video. I wish we had the cold smoke option in our Spirit II Weber.

[@noc838]

Beaut smoked salmon there! What do you do about fish parasites such as worms etc? Did you super freeze it beforehand?

[@Purgatory76]

👍 i use your Nova Lox recipe about 4 years, but i use a different amount of salt and sugar. 4 Cups of Brown Sugar and 1 Cup of table salt. My family asks me to smoke some salmon for Christmas every year. So you know what i do next week. 😁.

[@PITMASTERX]

Awesome... how cool is that!

[@danieludjiawan2432]

Hi, may i know when we put it in the fridge -20 celcius degrees, can it be last long up to 1 year?

[@GrillTopExperience]

I've been wanting to make this for a while. Thank you for the tip on the vacuum sealer Roel. It looks fantastic.

[@PITMASTERX]

+Grill Top Experience my pleasure 🤘🔥🤘

[@paulrath7764]

Have you ever tried using just liquid smoke while it cures?

[@lettingthebearout7528]

How do you now when it’s “done”? The initial smoke I mean

[@BBQKlaus]

Wonderful! Much effort for receiving such a great result. But I should to do it, maybe at the Christmas time!

[@PITMASTERX]

+BBQ Klaus You will love it ... it is easy and very tasty 👌😁

[@shaiyehezkel3352]

Do you have to vacuum pack the fish? Or can you just wrap it really tight

[@babosing]

Does the salmon need to be sashimi grade? and do you need to be in cold weather to smoke it? I live in tropics indonesia. Thanks for the video

[@JuliJuli2020]

Will definitely try it. Love smoked salmon!

[@interstategar]

Finally somebody who knows how to cold smoke salmon. The only thing I would change is the type of wood. Alder is usually used or hickory.

[@TheMalacabeza]

I have seen a ton of videos smoking the salmon here on youtube, but this is the first video that I watched where the salmon looks exactly as the smoked salmon on a bagel that you buy in a coffee shop.

[@beeleo]

Are you sure that wasn't "brown sugar" that was from cane instead perhaps beet sugar? Most cane sugar is still refined to look like typical table sugar.

[@alexseva1566]

I my gosh, the sandwich looks so appetizing that I almost swallowed my tongue😛

[@BlackEagle19]

Roel this salmon looks awesome delicious next year i try my first own smoked salmon perhaps this year

[@PITMASTERX]

+Black Eagle thanks bro... you will love it 😍🔥😍

[@Sharky762]

Moet niet gekker worden Roel, weer Fantastisch!

[@PITMASTERX]

+Sharky762 Dank je 👊🔥👊

[@regiwstruk]

First time I’ve ever wanted to buy a Weber. This is really cool!

[@PITMASTERX]

+Kurt Swiger Thanks Kurt👊🔥👊

[@pgreenx]

is there an electric machine I can use to cold smoke indoors in small batches?

[@gregperez919]

Excellent. Now I know how to cold smoke everything I want in my regular bbq.

[@HakkaDakka]

Only thing i would change about the bagel is peeling the cucumber, that thing looks amazing!!

[@xushenxin]

is it safe to eat? It is not fully cooked.

[@THEREALSINNER247]

Is this only possible in the winter months? I live in California where in the summer can be pretty hot. Does the outside temperature affect the salmon? Will it spoil if it's too hot outside?

[@XtreeM_FaiL]

THEREALSINNER247 The temperature should be room temp at max. If you use a tall smoker, something like an old fridge it should work indoors too. Of course you need to do something about the smoke, so don't do it in your bedroom. :)

[@santolify]

Before you cured and smoked it did you do any other prep work with the salmon? Hope you can answer.

[@coreyluce4643]

He massaged it and read it bed time stories, it helps enhance the flavor.

[@traumagotmesick6750]

Hi,great video! How can I store the smoked salmon after I prepare it? Can I store it in the freezer?Does the taste and consistency change if I store it in the freezer? Thank you!

[@taylorswiftfan9992]

Trauma got me sick if you watch the end of the vid it says you can freeze it

[@ruky-x9431]

how long does it last??? Expiration date?

[@righteouswrath1774]

allowing it to hang and dry at room temperature for 24hrs in a well ventilated area. This will keep the fish fresh for a longer period of time and the fish won’t be as slimy inside which can ruin the texture of it when you are eating it (only do this if you’ve frozen the fish for one day prior to putting the fish in brine).

[@serpentserpent9308]

Это горбуша холодного копчения?

[@skeys79]

Looks great...how safe is this style of salmon. It has been cured with salt but no heat applied is there still chance of pathogens?

[@PITMASTERX]

+Shannon Keys its been Flash deep frozen and then cured... than we smoke it, which delivers nitrate... everything that ever live in this salmon... is dead. No worries 😁💪

[@skeys79]

Pitmaster X great thanks for the info I might have to try this.

[@dilbertosantiago2959]

I feel like this needs mentioned in the video. lol great video, my local breakfast joint serves an identical smoked salmon bagel, paired with grapefruit. its amazing.

[@Sam-vi2ho]

Just to add on top of pitmasters reply: Freezing kills parasites (dont eat sushi that hasnt been frozen unless you like to live dangeriously), smoking for long periods kills surface bacteria and the inner meat is considered sterile unless someone contaminated it

[@hehe13619]

TrapsAreSuperior Yes sushi that has been frozen is safe, as well as sushi that is very fresh. When eaten fresh, you don't give bacteria a chance to develop.

[@Rush-ld2qr]

Love all your videos Pitmaster X - I have been a subscriber for a long time and will continue to be as long as you’re making the awesome videos! Merry Christmas & Happy New year from Central Illinois USA - Job well done Sir😀

[@PITMASTERX]

Thanks Neil.. super glad your still watching! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

[@nishwaran]

was the salmon frozen before hand for about 7 days to kill any bacterias? or is this procedure enough?

[@mikeg7394]

no it is absolutely not enough. Also, home freezers do not get cold enough to kill parasites. the guy is a dangerous dufus.

[@XtreeM_FaiL]

Mike G If your freezer can't do -20°C/-4°F or colder it has to be broken.

[@mikeg7394]

Typically stupid, thinking most freezers are cold enough. Enjoy the intestinal parasites. My God, how do these idiots still exist? Your gene pool should be extinct by now.

[@gtsbarbecueandcuisine4837]

Looks delicious! I cold Smoked some cheese last weekend and really want to try this! Thanks for sharing! 🍻

[@briangleason5597]

That sounds delicious, I have never tried that, what was the taste like? God Bless

[@gtsbarbecueandcuisine4837]

It was delicious! The outer edges were a bit Smokey but overall I love it!

[@jameselliott9069]

I'm interested in that Weber grate as I don't see it on their website. Was that a Weber accessory or included with the Genesis II when purchased? Thanks, great video as usual...!

[@PITMASTERX]

It is included in the purchase... you can always call their service department or a weber licensed store. They will be able to get it for you

[@PITMASTERX]

Thanks James!

[@matbob7249]

Fantastic! Great attitude with great food!

[@christopherchen6170]

is cold smoking it absolutely necessary? I dont have a smoker

[@alansmith236]

Smoking is nessisarry for smoked salmon

[@santolify]

Master Built sells one.

[@subbystyle]

What happened to your napoleon prestige pro 500 grill???

[@cindyfern]

When you said umami, that's when I trusted you more

[@burdym9216]

Cindy Fernandez me too😂

[@mengyichen3264]

do u have the link for the smoke dust? I bought from Amazon but it was not fine enough, which needed grinder. How's urs?

[@TealAquaBlue]

Best video I've seen so far.

[@jacksonmagriplis6617]

Hi mate, any other smoke flavors you would recommend for salmon?

[@PITMASTERX]

+Jackson Magriplis yeah.. you can basically play around with anything... beetroot is also a classic. Google it you will find some suggestions

[@paulmisseg9398]

I tried this, and it was a failure. After dry brining for 14 hours it was like a hockey puck, so I soaked it in water for 20 mins - then let a pellicle form and smoked it. The texture was horrible, and the salt content made it inedible. I don't know what I did wrong. Help!

[@kerstansingh5951]

Amazing !!!!!! Where is your accent from?

[@Gerrie_de_B.]

It's Dutch for sure :D No question about that!

[@vikramgodha8495]

Am not personally not bothered about the accent & the accent is beautiful he looks like one of our Bollywood Stars + the best presentation easy way of preparation I saved it and shared with my friends too ThanQ & hat's off to you

[@kayciamcelroy9823]

So is the salmon raw?

[@chenpenglin174]

You used like 3% of that salt and sugar, what do u do with the rest?

[@stevetautog880]

what happened to the step where you leave the salmon out in the air to develop the pellicule, (spelling) you did not do that,, ok why???

[@mikeg7394]

because he's an idiot who puts cheese on fish and doesn't know about parasites either. he's not just ignorant he's dangerous.

[@peterbarone1076]

How long ? Ohhh 24hr

[@perryellis1423]

Good job 👍 very professional

[@felixgo7702]

Can i smoke the salmon with a bong?

[@HumanBeing-hg2fl]

Love the recipe 😋😋

[@pccalcio]

So wait, that was not cooked, not blast-chilled (blast-frozen), so it is still potentially harmful, correct ?

[@PITMASTERX]

+pccalcio the smoke adds nitrate... nitrate kills bacteria... oh and you can eat fish raw

[@pccalcio]

I could eat fish raw, but you presume I live in a country where fish is pristine quality, wich is not always the case :) Fish is often full of parasites (not very common in the US I understand, but not all viewers are americans). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recomends to freeze fish before consumption. Was wodering if smoking can kill parasites or if it is recommended to freeze the fish to be "lawsuit proof".

[@XtreeM_FaiL]

To kill a Listeria, food items need to be heated over 72°C./162°F. That is why anything that is not heated over that temperature is not suggested to pregnant women

[@funguy4900]

Looks delicious. I want that sandwich. 😋

[@stefanskala6696]

Awesom job on the salmon nice job awesome video

+MarktheHunter thanks bro...don't worry about the thumbs down. Your comments make more than up for that 👍👍

[@earthdog1961]

Yes, what Pitmaster X (Roel) said. Don't worry about the "haters". There are people out there who don't feel good unless the world is on fire. Don't feed their flames, just deny them their audience.

[@markthehunter9472]

[@irosencrantz882]

@@earthdog1961, Yeah, I don't even like fish, but I wouldn't go so far as to dislike a video over my preferences. I don't even like fish, but he STILL made that bagel look delicious.

Awesome job, you have me wanting to do this asap - where do you find the Weber cold smoke generator? -Oh I just seen your link above, Thank you again

[@evanauster7325]

Our biggest problem is we live in Florida. 80° to 85° average temperatures. I think I’m gonna get a small fridge and a smoke generator to rig this up. That’s the only way to keep the temps down 😢

Great recipe and process Chef. I really enjoyed this one. I really like that Weber cold smoking unit. I'm trying to think of other things I could cold smoke.

Bellissimo video! Mi chiedevo proprio se si poteva usare l'affumicatore a freddo in un barbecue a gas! La prossima volta che fumi che il salmone prova a fare come facciamo in Italia per lo speck: 4 ore di affumicatura, 4 ore di pausa a temperatura ambiente, altre 4 ore di affumicatura è ancora 4 ore di pausa, poi ancora 4 ore di fumo e altre quattro di pausa sempre a temperatura ambiente, rimarrai stupito del risultato

Dat is weer een beste Roel, een topper :-) 1 vraagje... hoe zit dat met die coldsmoker en de ventalatie met de bbq, "verstikt" die coldsmoker z'n eigen niet... neem aan dat het een aardige rokerige bedoening is daar binnen die Weber?

[@PITMASTERX]

+gmshowtruck Dank je... gas barbecues hebben een grote opening aan de achterkant. Dus dat is geen probleem in iedere andere barbecue zet je alle ventilatie open
