This was yesterday's big surprise. We have wanted to build a smoker for quite some time but I couldn't wait one more second so I decided to try Jamie Oliver's biscuit tin smoker idea. To be honest I thought it wasn't gonna work but I couldn't have been more wrong. You can make an amazing smoked salmon like this, and you really don't need anything else besides the tin, a rack and some wood shavings. It doesn't fill your kitchen with smoke at all, and it's very quick too, 15 minutes and you have a perfectly smoked salmon. :)
You will need:
- an empty biscuit tin
- a piece of rack that will fit into the tin
- 2-3 handfuls of wood shavings
- a piece of salmon
Pierce the top of the tin with a screw driver a couple of times so that the smoker has an air inlet. Get the biscuit tin and place the two handful of wood shavings into the tin. Place your wire rack in the tin, so it sits halfway down. Rub the salmon with salt and olive oil and place it on the rack. Put the lid on and place the tin on the smallest cooker of your stove at lowest heat possible. When it starts to smoke, keep it there for another 10 minutes or so and then turn the heat off. Wait until it cools off and then open the tin. There you have your homemade smoked salmon!
