SMOKED SALMON
Salmon fillet (whole or pieces with skin on, bones removed)

SMOKED CREAM CHEESE
Philadelphia Cream Cheese
Rum & Que Soft Coq Rub
1 x Lemon
Crackers of your choice
Preparation
Smoked Salmon Method
- Rub the Salmon with the brine mix ensuring an even coat all over. Leave in the fridge uncovered for 2-6 hours. This results in a juicier final result with added flavor.
- Lightly rinse off excess brine, and place skin side down on a piece of foil. Put into the fridge for a further hour.
- Heat the bbq smoker to 270°F, and fill the smoke tray with wood chips in the side loader.
- Remove the salmon from the fridge, and with it still on the foil place it in the centre of the smoker. Smoke until the internal temperature reaches 140°F.
- Rest Salmon for 5 minutes before serving.
Smoked Cream Cheese Method
- Rub the cream cheese block with Rum & Que Soft Coq Rub generously ensuring all sides are completely covered.
- Using the tip of a sharp knife, lightly score the cheese on the diagonal.
- Place onto a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil and place into the smoker for an hour or roughly the same amount of cooking time as the salmon.
- Serve with the salmon, crackers of your choice and finish with a slice of lemon and enjoy!
