Steps to make to make Smoked Salmon & Capers on Flatbread w/ Homemade Tzatziki

1. Rinse Salmon under cold water, then pat dry with a paper towel.
2. Run your hand up and down the salmon to feel for bones. If any are felt, pull them out with tweezers or needle nose pliers.
3. In a large bowl, mix the brine mixture (brown sugar, salt and pepper).
4. Place a small amount of this mixture into the bottom of a glass pan, then place salmon on top. Spread the rest of the mixture on the top and sides of the fish, then pat it in.
5. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap around the fish to try and remove all the air you possibly can. Refrigerate for 4-8 hours or overnight.
6. While it brines, we make the Tzatziki to allow the flavors to settle in. So peel the skin off a Cucumber and shred it into a bowl.
7. Add a pinch of salt and mix it all together. Let it sit for 15 minutes. This will remove the excess water.
8. While the mixture sits, finely chop your dill and mint.
9. After 15 minutes, pour the cucumber onto a paper towel and squeeze the excess liquid out. Repeat this step if necessary to remove all of the liquid.
10. Add your Greek Yogurt to a bowl and mix in your shredded cucumber. Then add the cayenne, small pinch of salt (since the cucumber is already salted) and large pinch of coarse black pepper.
11. Squeeze or add your lemon juice, dill and mint and mix well. Taste and add more cayenne, salt or pepper if needed. Garnish with a bit of smoked Paprika and dill stem and cover. Refrigerate until you eat.
12. Remove fish and rinse brine off thoroughly. Spray a smoker rack with cooking spray to prevent sticking and place salmon on top.
13. Cut salmon into fillet sized portions. Then, let salmon rest on the counter for 2 hours to allow it to form a film on the outside. This film will absorb the smoke flavour.
14. After 2 hours, Preheat your smoker to 150-160°F. While it preheats, season your salmon with garlic powder and black pepper. You don't need salt, because the brine has already incorporated salt into the fish, plus you'll be adding capers onto the Flatbread.
15. Place salmon onto grill and smoke for 1 hour 30 minutes. While the salmon smokes, cut your cucumbers, onions and shred your cheese. I'm cutting the onions in my mandoline and on the thinnest setting.
16. About 10 minutes before the 1 hour 30 minute mark, mix about 1 tsp of lemon juice with about 1/4 cup maple syrup.
17. At 1 hour 30 minutes, brush Maple syrup and lemon mixture onto salmon. Get the top and sides and feel free to be as generous as you'd like. Smoke for an additional 30 minutes or until an internal temperature of 145°F
18. Right after placing the salmon back on the grill, preheat oven to 400°F. Place Flatbread or Naan on a cooking sheet and Sprinkle grated cheese, garlic powder and a bit of smoked Paprika around it. The goal isn't to cover the Flatbread, but to simply create spots of cheese. Cook for about 5-10 minutes or until cheese has melted and the bread is warm.
19. While that is heating, mix your pickled onion mixture (apple cider vinegar, water, salt, maple syrup) into a pot. Heat over medium-high heat until it begins to simmer, then transfer it to a Mason jar.
20. Add red onion and stir to make sure the onion is fully incorporated into the mixture. Close and sit for 30 minutes (pressing down with a spoon occasionally to keep the onions in the mixture).
21. Pull salmon off smoker and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. Pull off Flatbread and keep it warm until salmon is done resting.
22. Cut salmon into small shavings and spread around Flatbread, then dash smoked Paprika around for color and taste. Spread cucumber, garlic onions, capers and red onion around the bread.
23. Sprinkle dill, lemon juice and arugula on top. Serve immediately with tzatziki.
24. Note: save your excess salmon to have the next day as leftovers.
