When vegans BBQ.....

Grilled romaine hearts. Omnivores do that too, but I prefer them raw.

Would much rather go with spaghetti squash with a little butter and brown sugar.




Or for the vegans, you could use olive oil in lieu of butter.

Apple Cinnamon Smoked Salmon:

2 lbs. sockeye salmon fillet
8 cups Apple Juice
1 1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup kosher salt
3 cinnamon sticks
6 whole cloves
2 tsp black peppercorn
2 tsp fennel seeds
2 tsp allspice
1 tsp dried thyme
2 bay leafs
2 tsp red pepper flakes
2 tsp tabasco

1. Brine; Apple juice, brown sugar, and salt. Boil until sugar and salt are dissolved, and cool
2. Combine remaining ingredients to cooled brine in dish/container that allows the fillet to lay flat (Avoid aluminum)
3. Refrigerate, marinate 12-36 hrs. I prefer the 30-36 hrs. soak.
4. Remove from brine, and place on rack skin down to cure 2-4 hours in refrigerator (Less time for partial tails such as the one pictured below).
5. Place in smoker at 225-300F and monitor until desired smoke, and most importantly proper internal temperature is achieved; 1-3 hours. I like a hickory smoke for this fish.

Enjoy the racing this weekend. I'll add some "after" images Sunday.

And the after photo... Might tweak the recipe slightly, and add a bit more heat (maybe a tsp or two more tabasco), but full of flavor. Aside the taste, fruity with touch of heat at the end, the best thing about the recipe is it adds to the vibrant red sockeye color even after smoke.

I've got some romaine in the greenhouse so made a nice salad, and smoked salmon cream cheese spread for the Xfinity race at Iowa. Go Bubba!

Any flavor preferences? Heat, sweet, or neat?

Probably not-so much heat, as she dont do hot wings. Anything sweet and not so much of a bold flavor that kills it.
