1
Prepare the Cure
In a bowl, combine kosher salt, sugar, orange zest, and orange juice. Mix well until the sugar and salt are dissolved.
2
Cure the Salmon
Place the salmon fillet skin-side down in a shallow dish. Pour the cure mixture over the salmon, ensuring it is fully covered. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24-48 hours.
3
Prepare the Avocado
After curing, remove the salmon from the fridge and rinse off the cure under cold water. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels. Slice the avocado into thin pieces.
4
Serve
Slice the cured salmon into thin pieces and arrange on a platter. Top with avocado slices and drizzle with smoked chile oil. Serve with sesame crackers on the side.
