We just smoked our first salmon filter but we have a question.  Should we rinse it after we take it out of brine before we smoke it?

@patbz I smoke trout, but not salmon. And, yes I rinse it quickly and pat dry. BUT, then I let it air dry for an hour to create a patina. I smoke the whole, gutted trout, bones and all, with the skin. You might want to check some smoker websites for advice. All that being said, it probably wouldn't hurt to give it a quick rinse and pat dry. IMO.

It's a heck of lot more healthful than cigarettes.

Most salmon have switched to vaping

Ha, I guess there are two ways to read "smoking salmon." Mine was that I'd rather smoke salmon than cigarettes. :-)
