For a smoky flavor, add a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the marinade. If you prefer a spicier jerky, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade. The drying time may vary depending on the thickness of the salmon strips and your oven. Check the jerky periodically after 6 hours to ensure it doesn't become too dry. Store the cooled salmon jerky in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a medium saucepan, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, rock salt, and black pepper. (2 minutes)
02
StepBring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved. (3 minutes)
03
StepRemove from heat and allow the marinade to cool completely. (30 minutes)
04
StepWhile the marinade cools, prepare the salmon. Slice the salmon fillets into uniform strips, approximately ¼ inch thick. (15 minutes)
05
StepPlace the salmon strips in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the cooled marinade over the salmon, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. (5 minutes)
06
StepMarinate in the refrigerator for at least 45 minutes, or up to 2 hours, for a deeper flavor. (45 minutes)
07
StepPreheat your oven to 185°F (85°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This will allow for optimal air circulation and even drying. (10 minutes)
08
StepRemove the salmon strips from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Arrange the strips in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring they are not touching. (15 minutes)
09
StepPlace the baking sheet in the preheated oven and dehydrate the salmon for approximately 8 hours, or until it reaches your desired level of dryness. The jerky should be firm but still slightly pliable. (8 hours)
10
StepOnce the jerky is ready, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on the wire rack. This will allow it to further firm up. (30 minutes)
