Steps to make Salt-Cured and Smoked Lake Trout:
  1. Mix the AP rub and fish seasoning together into a jar.
  2. Check the fillets for bones and remove any that may remain.
  3. Cover the bottom of a baking sheet with plain kosher salt about a half inch thick deep and lay the trout fillets on there skin side down. Make sure the fillets are not touching.
  4. Cover the flesh of the trout with the AP and fish seasoning mix about a 1/4 thick.

  13. Spread the trout over a toasted piece of brioche bread and serve next to french fries with malt vinegar.
