Seafood Salmon curing

[BadgerFan]

I've always used pickling salt with brown sugar, and I'm wondering what kind of salt do others prefer and why? Do different salts make a difference?

I use kosher salt mainly because i already have it in bulk from making rubs. I never though of trying pickling salt.

I go 4 parts brown sugar, to 1 part pickling salt.

Same with me. I have tons of kosher salt.

Is kosher salt better than table salt?

It's weird to say but it's not as salty, so you can put more on to coat the surface without it being over salted.

I would appreciate a little more elaboration on the concept of salmon curing. Is this just for short term consumption or longer, smoked or not? I really like the smoked and cured type that you can buy, but it's so expensive and I would like to have a more fresh option. Recipies/instructions anyone??
