Ingredients

3 lbs salmon fillet, skin removed

1 cup soy sauce

2 tbsp molasses

2 tbsp white sugar

2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

2 tbsp lemon juice

2 tsp liquid smoke flavoring

1.5 tbsp ground black pepper

12 dashes hot sauce (like Tabasco®), optional

Directions

Slice the salmon into 4 equal portions, width-wise. Turn each piece 90 degrees and slice lengthwise, about 1/4-inch thick. Remove pin bones using needle-nose pliers. Leave bony sections intact.

In a large bowl, mix soy sauce, molasses, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, liquid smoke, black pepper, and hot sauce. Add salmon; toss to evenly coat. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the fridge for 4 hours.

Remove salmon from marinade, shaking off excess. Dry salmon using paper towels. Discard leftover marinade.

Arrange salmon strips in a dehydrator; run according to manufacturer's instructions until desired doneness is reached, about 6 hours. Check occasionally for doneness.
