  • 20min 240min Fish In order to cook smoked carp, you will need several fish and a grill prepared for smoking with alder sawdust. Based on the cooking sequence given below, you can easily cope with the smoking process. The resulting product will surprise and delight both your family members and guests. Fish can be served with a side dish. The dish can be used as a snack. Carp 3 Kilo. Salt 3 tbsp. 1. Start cooking with fish. Clean the carp from scales. Cut off the fins and tail. The head can be removed, the fish will look good if you leave the head. Gut the carcasses. Rub each carp with salt. Leave the fish to salt for two hours. 2. Prepare the grill for smoking. Place small alder chips down. You can pin them yourself or take advantage of offers from the retail chain. Before lighting the wood chips, spray them with water. This precaution will help the wood chips not to burn, but to smolder while smoking the carp. 3. Place a smoking rack on top of the wood chips. Place the fish on it carefully, at a short distance from each other.
  • 4. Cover the smokehouse with a lid and place the grill on top. Smoked carp takes an hour and a half to prepare. It is better to turn the fish on the other side after half the time. Serve the dish cold. 20min 15min 20min 60min I present to your attention a recipe for making hot smoked mackerel.

We smoke the alder chips for half an hour, and then we smoke the fish without heads and giblets, as well as large bones, and keep it on the coals for half an hour. We make a tray out of foil and also make the same “lid” on top. We make a marinade from the remaining ingredients and leave the fish for 6 hours. Then let the fish dry in the sun for another two hours, and then cool it for another hour or two in the refrigerator. Ready!
  • 20min 120min Fish A detailed step-by-step description of how to prepare the “Hot Smoked Pink Salmon” dish. Be sure to try it Pink salmon 3-4 pcs.
  • Salt 4 tbsp. Pepper 2 tsp. 20min 1140min Fish Before you start cooking, you need to thoroughly gut the pike perch, cut off the tails and remove the gills. It is advisable to select fish of the same size for smoking. Then the pike perch will be smoked evenly. You can add salt to taste; for example, I prepared lightly salted fish. Pike perch 4 pcs. Spices 1 tbsp.
  • 20min 120min Fish Rub the cleaned pike perch thoroughly with coarse salt to your taste. You can add spices, or you can do without, as you like. We leave the pike perch in the refrigerator overnight. Before smoking, wash the pike perch in running water (you can soak it for half an hour). Dry it for a while at room temperature to get rid of moisture. We prepare the smokehouse by soaking the wood chips in water. We tie the fish with twine. When the wood chips are moistened, drain the liquid. Place the wood chips in an even layer in the smokehouse bowl. We fix a tray above them, where moisture and fat from the fish will drain. We hang the pike perch on hooks and cover it with a dome. We cover the junction of the dome with heat-resistant material. Wash the fish thoroughly under running water. You don’t have to gut it to save time. To prepare the brine, combine salt and water, mix thoroughly until the salt is well dissolved. Using a syringe, inject the brine into the fish, distributing it evenly. While you prepare the smokehouse, the fish will dry. If necessary, wipe it with a paper towel. And then everything is very simple: place the fish carefully on the grill and cover with the lid. It is best to simmer crucian carp at medium temperature so that it is well cooked. This will take about an hour and a half. At the end of the process, it is better to carefully open the lid to release excess moisture and lubricate the fish with vegetable oil. Then it will acquire an unusual color. It is better to increase the temperature for the last 15-20 minutes for a more appetizing crust.
  • Please note that you should start preparing this appetizer at least 3 hours before your family or guests want to enjoy it, or better yet, the day before. However, sometimes it is very convenient.

    After all, there are not many dishes that can be prepared in advance, and on the day of a festive dinner or lunch you can simply take and serve.

    Grocery tip
    When the season comes and aromatic sweet red Crimean onions appear on sale (their bulbs seem to be squeezed from the poles), add them to the salad, but without pickling them, just fresh. Pickle regular onions as stated in the recipe, but use half as much.

    As you have already seen, trout goes well with many available products. Making salads from it is a pleasure. Take our recipes as a basis and come up with your own signature salads with smoked fish.

    Meat salad or Olivier salad is a popular and favorite dish for any holiday table. Each housewife makes it in her own way, and there are a huge number of variations of this salad. For many years, I practically forgot about this salad, switching to a completely new diet and composition of dishes, due to a significant change in climate, and as a result of my fascination with new culinary ideas of one or another national cuisine, many of which are unusually widely represented in Australia. Until now, our daily menu includes our favorite dishes and cooking techniques from Italian, Chinese, Spanish, and French cuisine. It is impossible to list the cuisines of all European and Asian peoples, the dishes, products and spices from which have entered our lives forever.

    Meat salad, which I always made for all holidays and birthdays, returned to our lives in a completely unexpected way. In Riga, I used doctor's sausage, boiled chicken or beef as the meat component of the salad. Smoked trout, for reasons unknown to me, turned out to be the first protein food of animal origin that I could tolerate and introduce into my diet after 7 years of restoring the completely impaired digestive functions of my gastrointestinal tract. After being diagnosed with celiac disease, for the first seven years, I could not tolerate any animal protein except eggs. Tender, tasty and easily digestible hot smoked trout became the protein product that I began to tolerate without negative consequences, and was able to introduce into my regular diet. The option of a meat salad with fish instead of meat immediately came to mind. Along with replacing meat with fish, I slightly modified the composition of the remaining ingredients, refusing to use boiled potatoes, and replacing half the portion of mayonnaise with Dijonnaise (a mixture of mayonnaise with Dijon mustard).

    The use of Dijonnaise adds a spicy kick to the salad, which, with tender fish and mild mayonnaise, had a somewhat rustic taste. Also, the original Dijonnaise does not contain gluten in its composition, and sometimes, in the absence of gluten-free mayonnaise, I mixed it with sour cream (not the best option for my taste, but quite acceptable).

    I make the second version of this salad with canned crabs (which, it should be noted, contain very finely divided pieces without much taste), or with fresh crabs, which can be ordered, already cooked, in fish stores during the season. In the fresh crab salad, I use pickled cucumbers along with fresh cucumbers, or just fresh cucumbers. In the latter case, the salad must be well salted, while a salad with smoked trout using pickled cucumbers does not require salt.

    Ingredients:

    approximate composition and quantity

    • 1 medium-sized hot smoked trout (seeded flesh) or 300g crab meat
    • 3-4 carrots, peeled, boiled
    • 4-5 medium-sized pickled cucumbers (or a mixture of them with fresh cucumbers)
    • 4 hard-boiled eggs
    • jar of young canned peas
    • 1 medium onion (I like to use a mixture of white and red onions)
    • 2 large tablespoons gluten-free mayonnaise (be careful when reading the label; many thickeners may be wheat derivatives)
    • 2 large tablespoons gluten-free Dijonnaise
    • salt and black pepper to taste, if necessary

    Preparation:

    • boil carrots and eggs
    • finely chop cucumbers, carrots, eggs
    • chop the onion very thinly
    • clean the flesh of the fish from the bones, divide the flesh into pieces of the desired size (not very small)
    • add green peas
    • add mayonnaise and Dijonnaise (or any other dressing)
    • mix

    Sometimes I use 1-2 tablespoons of liquid from a jar of green peas if the mayonnaise is very thick. I add this liquid to the mayonnaise and mix everything thoroughly with a whisk until smooth, and use this mixture to dress the salad.

    Smoked trout salad with this composition of ingredients, without potatoes and with a low-fat dressing, is suitable not only for a holiday table, but also for regular, although not particularly frequent, consumption. This is a nourishing, tasty, protein-rich dish. In a closed container, the salad keeps well for several days in the refrigerator. When using fresh cucumbers, the salad releases liquid during storage, which must be taken into account when calculating the amount of mayonnaise for dressing. You can, of course, use regular canned peas, but young, smaller and more delicate in taste, it seems to me more suitable in combination with smoked trout.

    I love this salad more than anyone else in my family and I always make it for Christmas dinner lately.
