I watched Jamie Oliver prepare Hot Smoked Salmon on his new Jamie at Homeshow tonight for the first time, though it aired originally last week. In fact, I watched it about 6 times and kept it on the dvr.
I have never seen anyone cook salmon in quite this way, and I am really tempted to try it.
From the Food Network recipe:
All you need is an old cookie tin with a lid, a wire rack that fits inside it or a bit of chicken wire and some uncoated sawdust (the type you get for putting in pets’ cages). When you put the tin on your heat source, it will act like a kind of oven – don’t get nervous if it seems a bit radical to you, because it’s so easy.
I have a feeling that if I were to try it, I would need to have the ex here to treat any burns I end up giving myself. Still, I am sorely tempted.
Edited to add:
Check the Green-Tea Smoked Trout recipe for another technique for smoking fish on the stove-top that seems even easier.
This looks like an interesting idea. After I’ve tried it in my kitchen, I’d like to post a link to this story on my blog http://howtocooksalmon.wordpress.com/ Thanks, Jim
