Bradley Hot Smoked Snapper

Ingredients

·         2 X Large Snapper or Bream

Brining

·         1 litre water

·         200g Non-iodised sea salt

·         100g Soft brown sugar

Optional Fish Brine Ingredients

·         Bay leaves

·         Finley chopped onion

·         Dill fresh and dried

·         Crushed black pepper corns

·         Crushed Garlic

·         Fresh or dried chillies

·         Crushed fennel seeds

·         Star anise

·         Lemon Juice

·         Fresh ginger

 

 

 

Directions:

1.      Combine all the wet cure ingredients in a pot and heat until the salt and sugar are completely dissolved.  Heating is required as the water will be close to fully saturated and will take forever to dissolve at room temperature.

2.      Allow to cool completely.

3.      Butterfly your fish and place completely submerged in a nonreactive container for up to 1 hour depending on thickness of fillets

4.      Remove from brine and soak in fresh cold water 15 to 20 minutes to remove some of the saltiness and sweeten them a little.

5.      Pat dry and place them skin side down on your smoker racks.  If you do not intend to smoke them straight away, place them on racks uncovered skin side down in your refrigerator.

6.      This has the added advantage of allowing the salt to further penetrate the flesh and dry the surface of the fish to form a pellicle for the smoke to stick to.

7.      Set up Smoker and smoke with Bisquettes of choice at 60°C for 1 hour of light smoke.  Or if a heavy smoke is required, smoke at 70°C for 2-3hrs.

8.      It can be served straight away or allow to age       in refrigerator for up to 24hours to allow smoke flavour to develop.
