suppertime:salmon jerky

we hit the road today, and had a whole salmon from our trip sitting in the fridge.  we have eaten our fair share of fresh salmon the last couple weeks, so i wanted to preserve it to enjoy later, when it would be a bit more of a novelty.

i cut the fillets lengthwise (1/4" strips), because it's less work to lay out, they stay on the rack better, and i think long strips are more fun to eat  
i coated em in maple syrup, salt and a pinch of black pepper, and let em sit for a while, then laid them out on on the oiled oven rack
put them in the oven at 225 for about 3 hours, and voila.  a smoker or dehydrator would be preferable, but sometimes you have to use whats on hand.  all in all, i'm pretty stoked on how it came out.
