INDIAN CANDY

INDIAN CANDY

Indian Candy is a wonderfully versatile hard-cured salmon product. It is great as an appetizer or a high-protein snack.

This process extends the amount of time the fish can be stored in the refrigerator. Traditionally small salmon, such as Coho or Sockeye, are used in this process. For a flavour twist add some genuine maple syrup to the salt/sugar mixture.

Ingredients

  • Salmon fillets
  • Salt
  • Brown Sugar

Preparation

  1. Cut salmon into 1/2″ strips from fillets of salmon.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together salt and brown sugar in a 50/50 ratio making certain you have enough to completely cover the salmon.
  3. Place salmon in the bowl and coat evenly with the mix by rolling salmon in through the mix.
  4. Leave salmon in the bowl, in a cool place 5°C (40°F) for 12 to 24 hours. Remove salmon from the bowl, rinse off excess mix and pat dry.

Smoking Method

  1. Place salmon on racks and put in the Bradley Smoker.
  2. Using Maple flavour Bisquettes, smoke at about 50°C to 60°C (110°F to 135°F) for 4 to 12 hours depending on your preference as to texture and taste.
  3. The longer the smoking process, the more chewy the Indian Candy will be.

Hot Smoked Cajun Salmon with Pasta, Rocket Pesto & Vegetables

Hot smoked salmon, with the minimum of cure time, is a thing of great succulence and beauty, and the smoky flavours of fish and spices is one that you will want to return to again and again.

Curing and Smoking the Salmon

  • 30g Salt
  • 20g Unrefined Sugar
  • 400ml Water

Mix above together in a snug container, immerse 4 salmon fillets for 20-30 minutes, then rinse and pat completely dry. Set the Bradley Smoker to a cabinet temperature of 75°C/150°F and add Oak Bisquettes to the stack. Allow the cabinet to reach the required temperature and fill with smoke. Coat the upper surface of the fillets with Cajun Spice mix (available in most supermarkets) to cover, patting down to form a dry crust, transfer to a Bradley wire rack and smoke for 1 hour. Set aside in a warm place.

Hot Smoked Cajun Salmon with Pasta, Rocket Pesto & Vegetables – serves 4

Pesto:

  • 1 Clove Garlic, crushed
  • 40g Fresh Wild Rocket Leaves
  • 20g grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 20g Almond Flakes
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • Squeeze of Lemon Juice
  • Ground Black Pepper to taste
  • Olive Oil

First make a batch of fresh rocket pesto by placing above ingredients in a small processor with enough olive oil to make a thick paste. Process briefly and store in a screw top jar, with more olive oil to cover the surface, until required. You should have enough for another day – keep in the fridge.

Now heat a large pan of salted water to boiling and add 500g of the pasta of your choice. Follow the packet instructions for cooking time and add a generous cup of defrosted, frozen peas and some tender stem broccoli tops to the pan 2 minutes before the end of cooking time. Drain through a colander, return to the pan and toss with 2-3 tbsp. rocket pesto to dress before dividing between warmed pasta bowls.

Top each with a fillet of hot smoked Cajun salmon and dress with a few strands of fine julienne of courgette. Serve immediately.

• 3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
• 1 lemon
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

DIRECTIONS
1. Light a CobbleStone and wait a few minutes until it has turned grey. Or, if you don’t have a CobbleStone on hand, ready your briquettes in the Cobb Cooker.

3. Place the fish fillets onto the Grill Grid and close the Dome Lid.

5. After about 20-30 minutes the fish should be cooked. This will depend on the thickness of your fillets.

6. Remove the butter from the fridge and slice up the butter and place on top of the warm fish.
