If you didn't want to brine another option is a dry sugar cure - 1pt sugar to 1pt rock salt mixed with whatever aromatics you like (garlic, juniper berries, thyme, fennel seeds etc) and another type of smoke you could go for would be a tea smoke which is much less intense than a Manuka smoke - equally parts (volume) of jasmine tea, brown sugar and rice.
