[@teerzette1541]

[@Vincent2wice]

Quality recipes without commercials! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Armadillopepper]

We really appreciate the nice feedback Vincent2wice. Hope you are enjoying this cold weekend!

[@xmozzazx]

Love this one! Time for a refresher!

[@Armadillopepper]

I have to agree. This is one of my all time favorite salmon recipes.

[@xmozzazx]

@@Armadillopepper I was researching honey bourbon butter glaze and although I am a sub, missed this from before. Still love it! It looked amazing! I pay particular attention to what you do. It's rarely anything exotic, it's just amazing ideas and simple ingredients. Butterflying open drumsticks, you were the first. It makes so much sense! I'm just a fan, but yeah a redo is in order.

[@Armadillopepper]

Will definitely do an update. Really appreciate the feedback. We are always trying to figure out what folks want to see.

[@yourdwellingspace7407]

This looks amazing!!! I love to see people enjoy their food!

[@Armadillopepper]

Thanks so much for watching and the feedback.

[@tangojoe9694]

One of the best ways I have seen to prepare salmon. Nicely done!

[@Armadillopepper]

Thanks Tango Joe. This has become one of my daughter's favorite salmon recipes.

[@josephcoates461]

your videos just put a smile on my face THANK YOU

[@deannastevens1217]

I am so impressed. That looks amazing and sounds delicious. I LOVE Salmon. Just bought a used smoker... (Not BBQ and all but still excited) and I am binging on the salmon videos. Yours is Especially good. Than You. and I love the Grill Mats. I use them in my dehydrator.

[@Armadillopepper]

Thanks Deanna. We have a few salmon recipes on our channel. Hope you can check them out. Have a great day!

[@MattieBae]

Omg I need to try this

[@Armadillopepper]

Thanks Mattie!

[@tomstestkitchen]

The salmon looks awesome Jeff, I'm a big fan of orange wood chips.

[@Armadillopepper]

Yea, I am using these orange wood chips more and more these days.

[@cricket516]

My husband loves salmon and he would love this.

[@Armadillopepper]

My daughter really liked this recipe.

[@CherylYax]

Looks great! I have never brinned salmon, will have to be brave and try it.

[@Armadillopepper]

Once you brine, you will never go back :)

[@deannastevens1217]

I brine a lot of different meats. I have chicken brining until tomorrow... and I always brine my turkeys.

[@Booger500us]

picture perfect and loaded with flavor, beautiful!

[@Armadillopepper]

This was really good. If salmon prices stay low for another week, we will make this again.

[@BrianEibner]

wow!! that looks really tasty , nice job and good video. I'll be watching for more

[@Armadillopepper]

Thanks for the feedback Brian. Really appreciate you watching.

[@pamhowden8161]

Yummy

[@Armadillopepper]

Thanks Pam.

[@joelwerre]

I want to try this minus the honey and brown sugar, plus maple sugar.

[@Armadillopepper]

Definitely make it your own.

[@rootboycooks]

That is some fine looking fish! Rock On Jeff!

[@Armadillopepper]

Thanks Sal! Hope all is well.

[@enriquewilliams44]

Nice! I'll give this a shot.

[@Armadillopepper]

Let me know how you like it

[@enriquewilliams44]

@@Armadillopepper will do

[@LauricesKitchen2010]

Jeff, that looks so amazing. I'm going to have to brine some salmon soon. Where did you get your grill mat, and does it work better than non stick foil, since it's over the unlit side? I'm trying to decide if I want to invest in one. Loved that sauce!! It'd probably be great on several things!! 💗

[@Armadillopepper]

I got 2 in a package. I think they were $20 at Amazon. I really like it for seafood. We have probably used one of them 8 or 9 times already. Just rinse off the big stuff and throw it in the dishwasher.

[@LauricesKitchen2010]

+ArmadilloPepper.com Great!! Thanks so much! ☺

[@deannastevens1217]

I got my grill mats at Costco last year. 3/$20... but I got an advertisement in my email last year for 5 for $15. So look on line for something great. Good Luck. I also use mine in the Dehydrator. I cut them to size and they are amazing as catch alls at the bottom, semi-liquids, superfine minced.... that would otherwise fall through my dehydrator mesh.

[@ChrisR57]

I wish I was your neighbour Jeff!! I love salmon that is smoked on a cedar plank (Costco) I use Jack Daniels Honey in my 'finishing' sauce. Cheers!

[@Armadillopepper]

Thanks Chris. I have become good friends with ome of my neighbors. He even watches some of vids now AMD tries the recipes!

[@firelover49]

Do you think this glaze would make good beef jerky, possibly a marinade

[@Armadillopepper]

That's an excellent idea. I was hoping to make some jerky this weekend and may just try this.

[@firelover49]

@@Armadillopepper I would love to see your take on it, I love your videos

[@doctoredable]

At minute 4:34 notice the white exudate on the surface of the fillets. This happens when the cured fillets are not fan dried before smoking. The result is an inferior product. If the fillets were placed on a rack after the brine was completed and were placed in front of a fan for several hours to form a "skin" that contains all the juices and flavors the results would be significantly better. Experts that commercially smoke salmon or do it for a hobby all know this.

[@mulvaneydavid]

Good advice but if it is delicious does it really matter?

[@Armadillopepper]

This salmon turned out pretty darn good, but if I ever get several extra hours to fan dry, I'll have to give that a try. Thanks for the info!

[@doctoredable]

David the final result would have been much better if the fillets had been fan dried before smoking. I have been smoking salmon for 35 years and I learned about the importance of fan drying prior to smoking either cold smoked or heat smoked from a man that had been smoking salmon for 40 years when he graciously gave me his trade secrets 22 years ago. .

[@doctoredable]

ArmadilloPepper.com I am glad you did not take offense and you are open to suggestions. I learned this technique only 22 years ago. With your obvious passion I know you will find the time to allow the next batch to fan dry before smoking and will notice the difference.

[@EclecticDiscus]

Or in stead of Fan drying you can pat dry and place on racks and back in the fridge overnight. Just another way but a needed step, drying.

[@veganlady7063]

That looks amazing! What’s the name of the seasoning again? That looks so 😋 my stomach started growling 🤣

[@Armadillopepper]

Thanks! Pork candy, available on armadillopepper.com.

[@kittykatt3212]

That looks amazing

[@Armadillopepper]

Thanks Kitty Kat. Hope you're having an awesome weeked!

[@mcsebbs]

This looks fantastic! Would the taste of these go well in fish tacos with lettuce, tomato, sour cream and cheese?

[@Armadillopepper]

John Mark Dobbs Sounds like a great idea with soft shells.

[@michaelverhaaren7714]

Fairly busy!

[@nwtraveler5266]

Brine, seasonings, and glaze. Do you not like the taste of salmon? Just wondering.

[@Armadillopepper]

Give it a try and then maybe you will answer your own question.

[@TheRealNormanBates]

I'm going to try this with pork loin or chicken to see how it turns out.

[@Armadillopepper]

Sounds like a good idea. Please let me know how that tuns out.

[@veganlady7063]

The look on your face I knew it was good 😋

[@Armadillopepper]

I love this recipe. Always looking for salmon recipes. My daughter only eats seafood and chicken.

[@eurtonmark]

would you say its the best recipe that you have for smoked salmon?

[@Armadillopepper]

Probably one of my top 3 or 4. Cherry rubbed salmon is one of my favorites. We did a Cesar planked salmon with shrimp sauce this pear weekend Nd it was awesome.

[@muvico1]

can i replace whisky instead?

[@Armadillopepper]

Yes

[@venetiaanortrup8514]

$17 lb at costco in Alaska

[@Armadillopepper]

Wow that is way more expensive than I thought it would be up there.

[@joelwerre]

Cheaper in Philly, 12 buck a lb for wild AK sockeye

[@Pete-yt6rp]

Dang I’m going to miss my aa meeting tomorrow

[@Armadillopepper]

Use apple juice instead 😄

[@karlkrasnowsky3895]

Darn, I'm stuck with apple wood and Jack Daniels honey liqueur. I'll see how that works.

[@Armadillopepper]

I've used the Jack Daniel's honey. I bet it turns out good for you. Let me know if you like it...maybe we will have to use it in a video.

[@karlkrasnowsky3895]

I will.. hey, I'm trying to dial in my kamado joe for the smoking. Would 175° f seem about right?

[@Armadillopepper]

Karl Krasnowsky I usually shoot for 225.

[@karlkrasnowsky3895]

for 2-3 hours? huh, this other recipe (one I decided against) had been mentioning 250° for ~30 minutes, which I thought was just to short a cook.

[@Armadillopepper]

Karl Krasnowsky Internal temp of the salmon is what to watch. Time will vary based on grill temp, outside temp, how many times you open the lid, thickness of filet, etc.
