Salmon stock
I used the heads and tails of the salmon that I smoked. I had to cut the heads and tails off so they all would fit in the smoker.
put 1 cup of salmon, 1 peeled onion, 4 cloves, 2 roughly chopped carrots, 1 roughly chopped parsnip, 7 black peppercorns, 1/4 cup white wine in a small stockpot and add enough water to cover. bring to a boil. reduce heat to low. cook for 15 minutes, skimming often. strain and reserve salmon stock.
I saved remaining salmon stock and used a little when I reheated up the soup.
