How to Smoke Salmon with the Bradley Smoker
salmon is one of the most popular food to smoke. It makes a great appetizer at parties and social events and goes great with some capers, cream cheese and a Montreal style bagel!
In case you haven’t seen it, Wade Bradley recorded this short video showing his favourite way to prepare and smoke a salmon.
Check it out and happy smoking!

Nice video. Very informative, but didn’t say how long to smoke. (I’m a rookie).

I built some attachments so that I can cold smoke with a Bradley. You need a steel mailbox, some 3″ expanding aluminum dryer duct, and 2 3″ duct flanges. cut 2 3″ holes in the mail box. At least one should be on the end of the mailbox, and at a height to receive the Bradley smoker attachment. One flange goes in the other hole, and one goes in the side of the Bradley food chamber. Connect the 2 flanges with the aluminum duct.
With 6 feet of duct I get no temperature rise in the chamber. To keep the smoke moving in this leaky rig I position a small fan near the smoke vent on the top of the Bradley. This induces draft.
I have found all recipes for cold smoked salmon missing one key step. Season and salt as directed. Definitely let a pellicle form. I like apple wood. Hour or hour and a half is enough. To get the salmon like you get from a specialty store you need to immerse the salmon in olive oil for at least 12 hours.
