Citrus Cured Salmon Ingredients
Method
Citrus Cured Salmon Directions
Prepare the Cure
In a mixing bowl, combine the sea salt, brown sugar, grapefruit zest, orange zest, lemon zest, and black peppercorns. Mix well.
Prepare the Salmon
Place the salmon fillet on a large piece of plastic wrap. Spread half of the salt mixture evenly over the flesh of the salmon, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
Add Citrus Juices
Drizzle the grapefruit juice, orange juice, and lemon juice over the salmon, allowing it to soak into the flesh.
Layer with Dill
Place the fresh dill on top of the salmon, then cover it with the remaining salt mixture.
Wrap and Refrigerate
Wrap the salmon tightly in the plastic wrap and place it in a shallow dish. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours, or up to 48 hours for a stronger flavor.
Serve
After curing, unwrap the salmon, remove excess cure with a paper towel, and slice thinly. Serve with your choice of accompaniments.
