 This
section features some of our favorite recipes for salmon, halibut, and
some of the other edible goodies (i.e. clams, shrimp, and crab, the
words 'bivalves' and crustaceans just don't sound that appetizing!) that
you may take home with you after fishing with us.
Sorry, the term 'healthy eating' is
not really part of our vocabulary (more butter please!). You
only live once, right?? On this page, you will find some of our favorite

Dean &
Danny's Smoked Lox |
| 1 each fresh salmon side, boneless
1 lb kosher salt
1/4 lb granulated sugar
1/4 lb light brown sugar
1/2 oz ground black pepper
1/2 oz allspice
1/2 oz ground ginger |
Place the salmon, skin side down, in a
suitably sized non-metallic pan. Mix all dry ingredients well, then place on salmon
to completely cover. Cover the pan and refrigerate the salmon for 18 hours.
Remove from the refrigerator and rinse all seasoning off the salmon. Drain well and
pat dry. Return the salmon to a clean, dry pan and
place in the refrigerator for 12 hours, UNCOVERED, to allow the salmon to 'dry'.
Cold-smoke the salmon according to your smoker oven's manufacturer directions. Use
approximately 2 ounces hickory wood with the temperature set at 100 degrees. Smoke
the salmon for 15-20 minutes, the turn the smoker OFF and allow to stand, without opening
the door, for 4-5 hours. Please note that if the salmon is cooked over 100 degrees,
it can become mushy in texture. |

Another Lox
Recipe ... from Rod 'n Real |
When making lox, you must follow the exact measurements, and the recipe
can only be doubled once. Lox is a cold cured salmon and best if a firm fish is used ...
remember a redder skinned salmon tends to be softer in texture than a silver skinned one! |
| 1 1/2 pounds firm salmon fillets
1 Tbs. liquid smoke
2 Tbs. brown sugar
8 tsp. coarse salt
onion powder
garlic powder
dill |
Mix the liquid smoke, brown sugar, and
salt together. Lay the salmon fillets on a board and spread the mix evenly over it. Then
sprinkle the onion, garlic, and dill ( amount varies to you taste) evenly over the
fillets. Wrap each fillet separately with 2 feet of plastic wrap, making sure to start at
one end, and folding up the sides, covering it well by wrapping each piece with at least
three wraps. Then wrap the same with foil ... the seam side up. All of these steps are
very important; otherwise, the fish may not cure correctly. Refrigerate for seven days in
a leak-proof container ... this will catch any leakage from the fish. When the seven days
are up, take the fillets out of their wrappings and then re-wrap each piece as described
above. Place in Ziploc bags until ready to eat. Great served with cream cheese and drained
capers! |

Marinades for
salmon (or halibut) |
| Both of the
marinades below are good for four pounds of fish ... simply place the fish in a bowl with
the marinade and refrigerate for at least an hour (several hours is better!) These
marinades are best when the fish is barbequed ... simply place the fish on foil
(facilitating easy clean up) and barbeque the fish 10-15 for 1 inch thick fillets or 20-25
minutes for two inch thick fillets! Enjoy! |
