Why did your smoked salmon turn brown?

Smoked salmon can turn brown due to oxidation, which occurs when the fish is exposed to air, causing the fats in the salmon to react and change color. Additionally, using certain wood types for smoking or overcooking can lead to a darker appearance. It's also possible that the salmon was improperly stored or past its freshness, leading to discoloration. Always ensure proper smoking techniques and storage to maintain the salmon's vibrant color and quality.
