Prepare two Salmon fillets (make them boneless), 2-3lbs each fillet. Put both fillets skinside down, apply coarse salt, sugar 50/50 even on the fillets. Cover the fillets with Chinese Red pepper(they are not spicy), then slice 2 to 3 oranges for each fillet and cover the fillets with orange slices. Squeeze some juice all over and sprinkle a little bit of good whiskey or brandy(Cocnag) on the top. Cover both fillets with plastic wrap, skin side down, and put them in the refrigerator 40 deg F or 4deg C, with some weights on and refrigerate for 24 hrs. Take them out and make the fillets free from peppers and the remains, with spatula, do not soak or rinse the fillets, allow the fillets to dry in refrigerator abt 4 to 6 hours, or overnight. I smoked the fillets with cherry/apple for 4hrs with 150 deg F. Please feel free to smoke as You've been smoking before Your fillets. Enjoy. "Habanero" will add some pictures and more info later on.
