Salmon Candy

Salmon candy's sweet sugar-and-maple cure is a modern twist on the far older Indigenous practice of smoking and drying salmon to keep it through the winter.

Strips of salmon are brined in a sweet, maple- or brown-sugar cure, then slow-smoked over alder wood until chewy and lightly caramelized. Coastal BC markets and smokehouse stalls sell it bagged as a snack.

Why it's made this way: BC's Pacific salmon runs and its Indigenous and coastal smokehouse traditions are what give the province this specific preparation.
