Ingredients

Fish

  • 1 lb Wild Caught Sockeye Salmon can use any salmon

Marinade

  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoon liquid smoke
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon curing salt optional

Instructions

  • Remove pin bones from fish fillet with needle nose pliers. Leave skin on fillet.
  • With a sharp knife, slice long strips lengthwise ¼"-½" thick from the "head" of the fillet to the "tail".
  • Slice across the previously sliced long strips cutting into 3"-4" pieces.
  • Assemble all the ingredients of marinade in a bowl or ziplock bag and mix well.
  • Add the salmon strips to the marinade and marinate for 6-24 hours in the refrigerator. Mix the strips several times during marinating for evenly coated strips.
  • Strain jerky strips in a colander and then dry with paper towels to remove any excess marinade.
  • Place strips on a dehydrator tray or oven cooling rack on top of a oven pan to catch any drippings.
  • Dry at 150F if using a dehydrator or as low as your oven will go if using an oven.
  • Jerky will be done when it is completely dry and to your texture liking. It took me 9 hours to dry this jerky in my Excalibur Dehydrator.
  • Remove skin from jerky and eat!
