Gravlax Ingredients

Method

Gravlax Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cure

    In a bowl, mix together the kosher salt, sugar, chopped dill, and cracked black pepper.

  2. 2

    Cure the Salmon

    Place the salmon fillet skin-side down in a dish. Evenly distribute the cure mixture over the salmon. Cover it with plastic wrap and place a weight on top to help press the cure into the fish.

  3. 3

    Refrigerate

    Refrigerate the salmon for 48 hours, turning it once halfway through.

  4. 4

    Slice the Gravlax

    After curing, remove the salmon from the refrigerator, rinse off the cure under cold water, and pat dry. Using a sharp knife, slice the gravlax thinly at an angle.
