I'am looking for a dry brine recipe for smoked salmon I think I saw it on this site.Any help would be great.
50/50 salt/brown sugar is a good start Use non-iodized pickeling or kosher salt

I've been using 2/3 brown sugar, 1/3 kosher salt. It turns out a little sweeter.

I second the 2/3 1/3 method - the 1/2 and 1/2 was too salty for my taste buds, but I was out of beer at the time..........mmmmmmm.....beer!

I use the 50/50 or 60/40 but first I shake a little Montreal Steak seasoning on them. It adds a nice little bit of extra flavor. We need an icon that is licking its lips.

Exactly, now add celery salt, onion powder, dry mustard, garlic powder. Rinse and brush on a little maple syrup before smoking. I prefer apple chips.
If you don't like it sweet or want to try a little sweet 'n' sour combo. Brush some mongolian hot oil and shake some dried red peppers either in place of or in addition to the maple syrup.
