liquid smoke

I would like to try and make some smoked salmon however I don’t have the ideal set up for it.
I was wondering if anyone has ever tried adding liquid smoke to their salmon cure and if that would give similar results to cold smoking.

No! Not with fish, but with meat. I have a bündnerfleisch hanging right now that was marinated/cured for three weeks with addition of Liquid Smoke and it seems very promising. I was worried that the smoke flavor shouldn't penetrate the whole muscle, but it did.

I was thinking of trying this with salmon too, and you seem to have come up with the same idea. I'd go for it.

I believe that the forum shop sells a cure for salmon that does similar - go for it!

Hi Phishroy,
When you have cured your salmon with the liquid smoke addition, do let us know the results.
I have added liquid and/or powdered smoke as a trial to my biltong making effort but I found it not as good as the real smoke, there again, beef is different from salmon. It could be real good.
