Cold Smoked Salmon

[T.G]

Thanks Peter.

I modified the recipe a bit for a slab of lox for the Napa Polar Bear herf.

Removed the skin.
Left out the pink salt since I hate using nitrates.
Added 1 heavy tsp of finely ground white pepper.
Doubled the bay leaf.
All other spices measurements were "heavy"
Used some brandy as the booze to kick start it (it's what I had around).
Used a couple bricks in ziploc bags to get a really firm direct contact pressing on the fish while curing.
