Normally that would be a correct assumption. This year, I missed the salmon runs, so the recipe is as follows:

Go to Costco, buy a smoked Alaskan red salmon fillet. Serve with crackers of choice, and spreadable sharp cheddar cheese.

Pretty easy, and if you loose the box it comes in you will get lots of complements about what a good job you did smoking the fish. That's your chance to smoke the crowd with whatever story you want to tell them about it. ;D ;)
