Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb fresh salmon fillet skin removed
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon liquid smoke optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional

Method
 

  1. Prepare Salmon: Slice the salmon fillet into thin, even strips.
  2. Marinade Mixture: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, liquid smoke (if using), garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
  3. Marinate Salmon: Place the salmon strips in the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
  4. Oven Preparation: Preheat your oven to 150°F (65°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top.
  5. Arrange Salmon: Lay the marinated salmon strips on the wire rack, ensuring they don't overlap.
  6. Bake: Bake for 3 to 4 hours, or until the jerky is dry and firm yet still slightly pliable.
  7. Cool and Store: Allow the salmon jerky to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
