How To Make Smoked Salmon Candy (Recipe + How To)

Smoked Salmon Candy Recipe
Per 5 lbs salmon
2 cups cane sugar
2 cups non iodized salt
1/2 c maple syrup.
For detailed instructions see video, this is a brief overview;
Cut skin on salmon fillets into 1"x1" by 6" strips.
Mix salt and sugar together in a bowl.
Layer in a container with the salt and sugar mixture between each layer.
Put in fridge or cooler with ice for 8-10 hours.
Rinse well, lay out to dry in front of a fan for 1-2 hours.
Smoke in your wood smoker until its cooked through, for us thats 6-8 hours. We dont know the temp in our smoker. Every 45-60 minutes Marius reloads the wood in the smoker, and bastes the salmon with maple syrup.
When its done, take out, let cool, vacuum seal and label and pop in the freezer. Keeps upto 2 years in freezer vacuum sealed.

I love candied salmon! My dad used to smoke a lot of meats and mullet; he would have loved a smoker like yours. You guys have a great day!

[@lauraannstewart5900]

Yum makes me want to have a road trip and salmon fish

[@stevemichalski2538]

I've made it once and it was incredible. Mostly I smoke it.

[@VenisonforDinner]

It's definitely a favourite around here!

[@highroad3580]

Great fishing and the candy salmon looks amazing! Wondered why it looked like Marius tossed the row back?

[@VenisonforDinner]

Good question!

Hello everyone and God Bless all of you

[@tomh1349]

Instead of basting the salmon with a brush, have you guys ever considered using a pump spray bottle or some kind of spritzer bottle? As in is the maple syrup thick, or is it watery enough that it could spray out of a bottle. Just to make it more convenient for you guys.

[@VenisonforDinner]

Definitely sounds more convenient but I think the maple syrup is too thick.

[@BeaverCreekJersey]

Oh YUM! Wish we had salmon around here. Walleye, Northern Pike and Bass are about the extent of decent fish to eat. We also have a lot of bullheads (they look like a cat fish with stingers) but I don’t know of anyone who eats them. My grandma would but I don’t think there is anything she wouldn’t eat lol They get a muddy taste-not pleasant.

[@VenisonforDinner]

Wow your grandma sounds like one tough cookie!

[@BeaverCreekJersey]

@@VenisonforDinner oh she was. Welded her own tool, forged her own knives and split her own wood until a year before she passed when she went into the nursing home. Stubborn too lol she would only use her gas cook stove to heat water for her instant coffee otherwise she used her wood cook stove and wringer washer. The dryer she used to “fluff” her towels. Lol

[@lauragladden4396]

Wow!!!

[@Mindy56743]

I wish I lived in a area that had salmon.

[@justme-uw6bz]

Me too

[@stephencameron1709]

Me three!

[@stephencameron1709]

What a great tutorial! Looks so delicious. Val C ❤🙏🏻

[@VenisonforDinner]

We are fortunate to live where we do.

[@Mindy56743]

@@VenisonforDinner we have bass croppie and catfish. Don’t think I am able to can any of these or that they would taste like anything canned.

[@travelsahead]

So you don't even tell us how long to smoke it for? In instructions...

[@VenisonforDinner]

Theres a lot of nuance to how long to smoke it, you need to watch that part of the video for me to explain when its done. Depends on what smoker youre using.

[@justme-uw6bz]

Hey first again, yeehaaa.
