Prepare the brine by mixing 1 cup of lemonade thyme with 1.5 quarts of water.

Brine the salmon in the fridge overnight or for at least 4-6 hours.

For the dough, mix warm water with yeast, 3 tablespoons of sugar, 1/4 cup of canola oil, and let it proof for about an hour.

Roast the brined salmon in an oven set to 450 degrees Fahrenheit for about 5-8 minutes until cooked through.

Flake the salmon into a bowl and mix with 1/4 cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon horseradish, 1 tablespoon dijon mustard, 1/4 cup mayo, a squeeze of lemon juice, and black pepper.

Dust the table with a mix of semolina and all-purpose flour, then roll the dough into balls by hand.

Shape the dough into pinch buns and optionally make a round donut-shaped bun with everything bagel seasoning on top.

Steam the buns in a bamboo steamer lined with parchment for about 7 minutes.
