Brine
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 quarts water
This was plenty of liquid to cover the whole King once I cut the fillets.
Dip/Spread
Your going to have to adjust the amounts needed as I made way more than this shows.
1 cup smoked King
3/4 cup mayo (more on this later)
2 tbs Minced celery
2 tbs pickle relish
1/2 a small onion, grated
lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and cayenne to taste.
For all the dip/spread I made I used (1) package of cream cheese and about the same amount or a little more of mayo mixed with lemon juice. I did not want just mayo taste.
I also added fresh chives, rosemary, and thyme..

DS's recipe looks great but a very simple way is simply smoke your fish, break into small chunks and mix with cream cheese. Serve over crackers. It's so easy I can do it and even get compliments on it.
Oh yea, don't forget the Crystal hot sauce, add it after the dip hits the cracker
