Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients needed for this recipe
- Mix together all of the ingredients for the brine together.
- Pour brine over whitefish filets and then brine in the fridge for at least four hours or up to 12 hours.
- Remove and rinse whitefish and place back in the fridge for 2 hours to allow pellicle to form. Forming a pellicle is imperative to the smoking process as it gives the smoke a surface to stick to and really enhance the flavor of whatever you're smoking.
- Smoke at 200 for two hours
- Be sure to watch your whitefish close for the last 45 minutes of smoking so that the filets don't dry out.
- Remove whitefish from the smoker.
- Allow to cool slightly. Serve.
Notes
- Brining should be at least four hours, but overnight is better. It's often a good idea to brine the fish overnight and then cook it the next day so you can eat at a reasonable time.
- Be absolutely sure you give the fish at least two hours after the brining process for the pellicle to form so the smoke can stick to the fish.
