Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 to 4 tablespoons Cointreau or other orange liqueur
1 1/4 pounds salmon fillet with skin
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup coarse salt
1/2 tablespoon fennel seeds, toasted and crushed
Zest of 1 lemon, grated
Zest of 1 lime, grated
Zest of 1 orange, grated
2 thyme sprigs, leaves crushed
1 dried bay leaf, crumbled.
Citrus crème fraîche, for garnish. (See recipe.

Steps:

  • 1. Rub Cointreau over flesh side of salmon. In a half-gallon zip-top plastic bag, combine sugar, salt and fennel. Add zests, thyme and bay leaf; mix well. 2. Put salmon in bag, gently roll to coat, then press sugar-salt mixture into meat. Place plastic bag on a plate, put a weight on top (like a heavy skillet) and refrigerate overnight or for about 12 to 14 hours. 3. When ready to serve, remove bag from refrigerator and thoroughly scrape off citrus-salt mixture, dabbing with a damp cloth if necessary. Before serving, slice gravlax paper-thin on a diagonal and serve on crackers, with a dollop of citrus crème fraîche with tarragon.

I'm allergic to dill, so I omitted it from the recipe. The gravlax still turned out great, but I think it would have been even better with dill.

I had a hard time finding aquavit, so I used vodka instead. It turned out fine, but I think it would have been better with aquavit.

This gravlax was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used a bit too much salt in the cure. Otherwise, it was a great recipe.
