Chef's Notes
Steelhead trout is a magnificent creature, but it demands absolute respect. Do not skip the overnight marinade, or you will miss out on the deep, savory infusion of garlic and rosemary.
Pro Tip
When soaking your alder wood chips, try using a crisp white wine instead of water. It adds a subtle, fruity acidity to the smoke that will make your guests weep with joy.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you crank up the smoker heat too fast, you will accidentally cook the fish instead of smoking it, turning your gorgeous steelhead into a dry, chalky disaster that even the royal hounds would reject.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Our royal taster claims he’s allergic to anything that hasn't been smoked for at least three days, but he’ll eat this in five minutes flat.
The Culinary Science
The sugar-based curing mixture works through osmosis, drawing out moisture while pulling salt and sugar into the flesh. This firms up the texture and creates a rich, translucent protein layer known as the pellicle.
