METHOD
- Combine sugar and salt in a bowl. Spread half over the base of a non-reactive container with a lid. Add the salmon and cover with the remaining curing mixture. Cover and chill for 1 hour or up to 6 hours to cure.
- Wipe off most of the curing mix from the salmon with a paper towel, leaving a thin layer on the bottom and top of the salmon (this will caramelize as it smokes).
- Line a wok with foil and add wood chips. Place over high heat until smoking. Place salmon on a greased wire rack and set it inside the wok. Cover with a lid and smoke for 2 minutes, then reduce heat to medium-low and smoke for a further 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered, for 5 minutes to cool slightly and continue smoking in the residual heat, then flake.
- Combine crushed peanuts, chili, palm sugar, fish sauce, and lime zest, and juice in a bowl.
- Toss cabbage, onion, snow pea, and carrot with dressing, then divide among plates with herbs and top with salmon and extra peanuts.
