B's OG Salmon Jerky
B's OG Salmon Jerky
This jerky is sweet, has spice and is salted ever so nice. It's quite comparable to candied salmon – but is less sticky and sweet. Aside from being delicious, each serving provides over 25g of protein and is loaded with omega 3 fatty acids. COOKING METHOD: Dehydrating
Notable Equipment
- 1 Dehydrator
Ingredients
- 454 g salmon filet
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp chili paste, or chili flakes and acid of choice - see notes
Instructions
- 1. Prepare the marinade: combine soy sauce, sugar and chili paste or flakes in a container. Mix well.
- 2. Remove the skin of the salmon and slice into 1/4 inch thick strips.
- 3. Pour the marinade over the salmon and marinade in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
- 4. Arrange strips on the dehydrating tray (no overlapping).
- 5. Dehydrate at 160℉ for about 8 hours. See notes for how to know when your jerky is done.
Notes
- Salmon is rich in healthy fats, which can make the dehydration process a bit trickier and the jerky more prone to spoilage. To keep it fresh and safe to enjoy, we recommend storing your salmon jerky in the fridge.
- Drying time may vary due to the salmon’s thickness and fat content, as well as the altitude and humidity of your environment
- If you do not have chili paste: you can use a combination of chili flakes and an acid such as apple cider vinegar, rice vinegar, fresh lime juice or fresh orange juice. Use 1 tbsp acid and 1 tsp chili flakes.
