  1. 1 Rinse salmon with water; pat dry with paper towels.
  2. 2 Lay a piece of plastic wrap onto a flat surface. Mix together kosher salt and sugar in a small bowl. Pour 1/2 of the salt mixture onto the plastic wrap; lay salmon on top. Cover salmon with remaining salt mixture.

  4. 4 Transfer to a 9x9-inch baking pan; cover with an 8x8-inch baking pan. Place a heavy object onto the smaller baking pan to weigh salmon down. Cure in the refrigerator until salmon's surface is silky, about 48 hours.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Place sausage into bacon grease, and cook until crumbly and brown, about 10 minutes. Place sausage on the plate with bacon, and pour off all but 1/4 cup of the bacon drippings.
  2. 2 Reduce heat to medium, and stir in onion, garlic, and one can of green chiles. Cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, beat eggs in a large mixing bowl with the liquid smoke, hot pepper sauce, seasoned salt, white pepper, parsley, and basil until smooth. Crumble bacon, and stir bacon and sausage into the eggs with the remaining can of green chiles, hash browns, and cooked onions. Season to taste with salt and black pepper, and stir until evenly mixed.
  3. 3 Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Scoop the hash brown mixture into the prepared dish, and smooth the top. Cover with aluminum foil, and refrigerate overnight.
  4. 4 Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
