How to make Salmon Jerky - Chili Garlic Salmon Jerky Recipe

Salmon is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids and protein, as well as a variety of vitamins and minerals. If you enjoy salmon you may already know you aren’t limited on ways to prepare it. My family loves it grilled or baked with fresh herbs, but I‘ve also found another method that works really well. Just like traditional beef jerky, you can also take a couple of fresh salmon filets and turn them into jerky for a sweet and savory on-the-go snack.

Dehydrating is an easy food preservation process that uses heat and airflow to remove the moisture from food. It can be done with a conventional oven or a food dehydrator.  Jerkies often include a brine or marinade that also allow you to add your own desired flavors.   Once it’s finished dehydrating the salmon jerky is perfect for packed lunches, travel, and any other time you need a quick snack.

For this recipe, I used my Nesco Food and Jerky Dehydrator and followed the dehydrating instructions for fish that came with my machine. If you’re using a food dehydrator I suggest referencing your instruction booklet as well to determine the correct time and temperature settings.

Chili Garlic Salmon Jerky Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp. garlic chili sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp. ground black pepper
  • 3 tsp. salt
  • 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • 3 Tbsp. molasses
  • 4 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • 2 salmon filets, skinned and deboned

Instructions

  1. Place the salmon filets in your freezer for 15 minutes. You want them to be just barely frozen so they are firmer and easier to neatly cut.chili garlic salmon jerky recipe
  2. Cut the filets into strips, about 1 inch thick.
  3. Place the salmon strips into a shallow dish.
  4. Mix all of the remaining ingredients and pour over the salmon, being sure all of the fish is coated.chili garlic salmon jerky
  5. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8 hours.
  6. Remove the salmon strips from the refrigerator and toss in a strainer to remove access marinade.
  7. Place individual pieces of salmon on food dehydrator racks about 1 to 2 inches apart.
  8. Dehydrate according to time and temperature stated on your dehydrator manual. I dehydrate my salmon at 160° for 8 hours. If any of the strips appear to need more time, I allow it to remain in the dehydrator and check on it every hour or so until it is done. chili garlic salmon jerky
  9. Once finished store your jerky in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

    Thanks. This might be the only seafood jerky recipe I have seen. I pinned this until I can find skinless salmon. I’m thinking that the salmon would be easier to skin when frozen, though.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
