Directions
Best Smoked Salmon Brine Ala Poppie, This is simple as can be, but it is the best brine for smoked salmon that I have ever used My grampa Poppie did it like this and my husband and I decided it was the best way Give it a try and let us know what you think , Way too salty, and otherwise pretty flavorless I would recommend starting with a shorter brining time the first time you try this, and working your way up if you think you’d prefer a saltier fish We found it almost too salty to stomach , This brine is the best! Thanks!
