Salmon is great but I prefer it smoked, rarely eat it any other way.

I understand - they call it smoked salmon but Lox is more cured than smoked, or at least it doesn't pick up much smoke flavor in the cold smoke process.  The fish Bum posted above has been hot smoked.  The fat slowly renders and the fish takes up a good amount of smokey greatness as it cooks.  The resultant piece of fish is great in pretty much everything, including w capers on bagels.  ;)
 
A couple pound filet brined overnight will take about 30-45 minutes or so in the smoker at 225 degrees, depending on thickness.  My favorite is to eat it hot right then with assorted pickles and some good bread.  The wife likes it best chilled overnight and served cold as a first course.

i don't always like the item, but i'm good about periodically challenging myself with things i haven't enjoyed in the past, so i'll give it a go soon ...
 
certainly black beans, sauerkraut, coffee, beer, peas, zucchini, cabbage, and brussel sprouts are all things that i didn't like for most of my life =)
 
i've got this killer recipe for tequila cured gravlax I have always wanted to make. Wild king salmon is in fresh right now I think it's a good weekend to make some. You would like smoke over lox GM, to me lox is only cured no smoke. but some consider cold smoking lox also, either way its good. On the other hand you may dig tequila cured or vodka has a lot of citrus and fresh dill etc.

I use dark brown sugar or raw sugar usually 2 cups sugar to 1 cup kosher. cover entire piece of fish let sit over night- 12 hours. then rinse lightly dry and let sit un-covered in the ice box over night again, smoke at 210-225 until done. 
 
Par-boil cubed potatoes with a few tablespoons of white vinegar added to the water. Cook up some chorizo, then some poblano peppers and green onions. Fry the potatoes in the chorizo grease, then add the peppers and onions. Crack 4 or 5 eggs into wells and throw in the oven to finish. Top with cavocado, cilantro, and hot sauce of choice. I went with valentina black.

Made some "eggs in a cloud". Super easy, just separate 2 eggs, beat the whites to stiff peaks with a bit of salt & pepper. Spoon the egg whites onto some buttered bread (I used a split english muffin), make a little pocket for the yolk & dump them back in. Bake at 400F for 5-10 min til nice and golden.
 
Next time I'm going to fold in some crumbled bacon after beating the eggs and probably use something besides english muffins since they were hard to cut with a knife & fork and the end result was too tall to eat like a muffin. Still delicious though just a bit messy.
