Method

Directions for Whiskey Cured Salmon

  1. 1

    Cure the Salmon

    In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, kosher salt, and whiskey. Place the salmon skin-side down in a glass dish and pour the mixture over the salmon. Cover with dill and wrap tightly. Refrigerate for 48 hours.

    Prepare Pickled Onions

    Slice the red onion thinly. In a small saucepan, combine white vinegar and sugar. Bring to a simmer and stir until sugar dissolves. Pour the mixture over the onions in a bowl and let sit for at least 30 minutes.

    Prepare Cream Cheese Spread

    In a bowl, mix the cream cheese with the everything but the bagel seasoning until well combined.
