I just checked the salmon in the brine and the Hi-Cure (Kiwk-cure) is doing it's job as the skin is now hard and leather like, the brine & salmon smell awesome the salmon has bein the brine for 12 hours now I'm going to leave it there until mid-night and then I'll drain it and set it in the fridge to dry a little. and get up at 4am and putting smoker on and start smoking. MM :P :D :lol: :wink:

Nice one Mick.
One of the joys of winter for me is the cold smoking. I didnt get that many days cold enough this year so I too used the Kwik cure.
Comes out the same as store bought from the deli.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I need to know if the Kwikurit is necessary?

The ButcherAtHome website doesn't allow Victoria to be chosen for postage and all of the other recipes I've read for smoked salmon just have salt, sugar and flavours.

[edit]
Found out I had to use the Butcher Quip website instead, but my question still stands... If brined in the fridge and then smoked to 90C, isn't that as safe as the pork/lamb/beef that I do the same process with?
