I brine my salmon like I'm gonna smoke'em,I cut the smoking time in half.Then stuff half smoked salmon into the jars,add extra light virgin olive oil then can 15lb's for 10 minutes comes out great.To much time in the smoker or canner and it will be to done and you'll need that juice @ the bottom of the jar.When I bought my first canner / pressure cooker 10 years ago it has been nothing but a learning process,but an enjoyable one.Good luck,
