Salmon Gravlax

Cultured Butter Cured Egg Yolk

Method

Salmon Gravlax Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cure

    In a bowl, mix together the kosher salt, granulated sugar, chopped dill, cracked black pepper, and lemon zest until well combined.

  2. 2

    Apply the Cure

    Place the Ora King Salmon fillet on a large piece of plastic wrap. Rub the cure mixture evenly over the flesh side of the salmon.

  3. 3

    Wrap and Refrigerate

    Wrap the salmon tightly in the plastic wrap and place it in a shallow dish. Place a weight on top (like a heavy can) and refrigerate for 2-3 days, turning the salmon every 12 hours to ensure even curing.

  4. 4

    Rinse and Slice

    After curing, remove the salmon from the refrigerator. Rinse the cure mixture off under cold water and pat dry. Slice thinly against the grain.

  1. 5

    Prepare the Egg Yolks

    In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and kosher salt until well combined.

    Combine with Butter

    In a saucepan, melt the cultured butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and slowly whisk in the salted egg yolks until fully incorporated.

  3. 7

    Set and Chill

    Pour the mixture into a small dish or mold, spreading it out evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the yolks to firm up.

    Serve

    Once the cultured butter cured egg yolk has set, scoop out small portions to serve alongside the sliced gravlax.
