The fillet should be placed on the board, after withdraw the bones from stomach in one step by pushing away the top of fillet. All what will remain now is the needle bones inside the fillet, which you can detect with your fingers and can be removed with a pair of tweezers.

Repeat this process with the other side of the fish. the secret of making smoked salmon, the most important things are having quality wood chips and a properly sealed smoke house (for bigger operations) or a smoke box (what usually people use at home).

Smoking times may vary based on the size of your smoking box and whether its using heat or not: hot smoking can be done in a 2-3 hours, whereas cold smoking may take 2-4 days.
