Made some Lox with my Ora King salmon. I use 2:1 salt to sugar in my cure, but to add some of the notes of a smoked salmon I put in some hickory smoke powder (I got mine at Kalustyans, but is available at many fine powder purveyors). I didn’t weigh the amount unfortunately. I just did it by eye. Be careful, a little goes a long way and overdoing it can lead to acrid bitterness. I coated the fish like you see in the second pic and let it cure 48 hours in the fridge. Some people cure 24, some 72, up to your taste. Turn the pieces over every day. After cure, rinse, pat dry, and glet air in the fridge on a cooling rack for a couple hours. Slice and eat! No one will know you don’t have a cold smoker! I made the bagels with Redeemer wheat at 60% hydration with added vw gluten.
