Savory - Line up filets in a glass tray. Coat both sides with salt pepper and dill. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Sweet - Place filets in a glass pan. Add all ingrediants and mix to dissolve sugar. Cover with plastic and refrigerate overnight. Soak cherry or apple wood chips for several hours. Light the smoker and add a water pan to keep the fish from becoming too dry. Remove the fish from the marinade and place on wire racks for one hour in the refrigerator. The fish will develope a slight glaze. Oil the smoker racks and place the fish in the smoker. Add wood chips to the fire, and replenish every 20 minutes. Smoke 2 to 4 hours depending on the temperature of the smoker. The fish will become golden brown and will flake easily when done. Remove and allow to cool. Use in any recipe calling for smoked salmon. From: http://www.illinoisbowfishing.net Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives MMMMM
