There are Roughly five species of Salmon in Alaska. It is the species of Salmon that you choose that is hundreds of times more important than the recipe.

I advise studying the advantages and disadvantages of each species for human consumption.

I grew up fishing for salmon and steelhead. All the streams and rivers around where I grew up were full of them, fished in the ocean a lot for salmon too.
Most of the salmon caught I would smoke. I first made a brine out of salt and let it sit overnight. Then I'd wash the salt off and put the fish in a marinade of honey, brown sugar and maple syrup. Lay the fish out in the smoker and sprinkle red and black pepper over it. I always used alder for salmon. Smoke until done.

One piece of advice is to not buy farm-raised salmon. I prefer wild-caught Chinook and Sockeye.
