Great recipe. For your other reviewer the word Indian is not racist. It comes from Columbus landing and thinking he was in the Indies and therefore he called the natives Indians. It was never meant to cause harm or be nasty. Her vittle term however was nasty.

This is one of the better recipes that I have tasted. I found that the honey water glaze is best applied when cooled.

I thought that this recipe was great. A little different than I have smoked fish in the past. Curry? I had never heard of to many salmon in India. It is nice to see the PC police checking this site. Hopefully they don't check out the French section.
