Instructions
To make the brine: combine first 6 ingredients (onions - ginger) in a food processor and puree.
Pour into a dish or pan that is large enough to hold the fish.
Add remaining brine ingredients (soy sauce - mace) and stir to combine. Stir in cold water (about 2 cups).
Add fish to mixture and enough water to cover fish. If using large salmon fish refrigerate for 2-3 days, if using small fish refrigerate for 1 day.Soak hickory chips overnight in water.To prepare smoker/barbecue: prepare barbecue by heaping briquets on one side of the grill (about 30 for a large grill). Ignite and burn until coals glow and gray ash forms.Set drip pans opposite briquets.
Remove fish from brine and wipe dry.Pile hickory chips over briquets. Set top grill in place and coals side over drip pan with vegetable oil or spray with Pam.Set fish over drip pan and cover barbecue, leaving 1-2 vents open to allow smoke to escape.Smoke fish until fish flakes with a fork about 8 minutes per pound. For the large salmon trout it can take up to 2 hours but if using small fish about 45-60 minutes. You will most likely need to add coals if briquets begin to burn down.
Transfer fish to a large platter and let cool. Cover and refrigerate until 1 hour before serving.To make garnish: separate lettuce carefully using only those that form a cup. Chop onions and place in paper towel lined sieve to dry slightly.
Combine first five ingredients (dill - mace) and mix well. Stir in the sour cream and horseradish.
Transfer to a gravy sauce boat and cover and refrigerate.
Sprinkle with paprika before serving.
