I've never used cure when smoking salmon, but I think a lot would depend on whether you are cold smoking or hot smoking.

Coarse black pepper, pickling salt and brown sugar. Let sit in fridge over night; take out and dry with paper towel. Set aside for a few hours until it starts to form a thin dry skin. Comes out perfect every time.
