1.    1. ALASKAN SALMON FRITTERS 1 can (7 1/2 oz.) salmon Milk 1 egg, slightly beaten 1 tsp. lemon juice 1 cup buttermilk baking mix (Bisquick) 1/2 tsp. seasoned salt 1/4 cup finely chopped celery 2 tbl. finely chopped green pepper 2 tbl. finely chopped onion Oil Drain salmon, reserving liquid; flake. Add enough milk to liquid to equal 1/2 cup. Combine with egg and lemon juice. Combine baking mix

 and seasoned salt. Add liquid mixture. Blend in salmon and vegetables. Drop batter by spoonfuls into deep hot oil. Deep fry at 375 degrees about 3 minutes or until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels. Serve with lemon wedge and tartar sauce or seafood sauce

2. ALDER PLANK SMOKED SALMON 3 pounds salmon fillet 1 tbl.freshly ground black pepper 1/8 cup packed brown sugar 1 tbl. water

Soak the salmon fillet in a brine solution for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight. You will find a recipe to make a brine on this site titled 'Basic Brine for Smoking Meat'. Also, submerge the alder wood plank in water and place a heavy object on it to prevent it from floating. Preheat an outdoor smoker for 160 to 180 degrees (70 to 80 degrees C). Remove the salmon from the brine, wash thoroughly under cold running water and pat the fish dry thoroughly with paper towels. Remove the wood plank from the water and lay the fish out on the plank. Season the fish with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Smoke the salmon for at least 2 hours, checking after 1 1/2 hours for doneness. The fish is done when it flakes with a fork, but it should also not be too salty. As the fish smokes, the salt content reduces. Adjust the cooking time and salty flavor to your taste. (Note: Smoking a fillet can take 2 to 6 hours depending on your taste, the size of the fillet, and the fat content of the fish.) During the last 30 minutes of smoking, combine the brown sugar with the water and mix well to form a pasty baste. Using a brush, apply this liberally to the salmon.

 lemon, onion, or regular flavor).

If the fish is to be eaten right after smoking you can reduce the amount of salt used in brine. The salt is used for preservation. The fish should be brined for 3 to 4 hours in cold brine and then be air dried in a refrigerator for several hours. The sugar in the brine will form a coating on the surface of the fish which will help keep the moisture in the meat.
