GRAVAD LAX WITH A MUSTARD AND DILL SAUCE
I love making this for dinner parties and any time really when salmon is available at a reasonable price. Serve with buttered toast or rye bread and slices of cucumber. Curing time not included. The sauce is like a mayonnaise and is quickly made using an electric mixer.

Steps:
- To make the curing mix: place the salt, sugar and white pepper into a medium sized bowl, add the dill and stir to combine.
- Line a large, shallow, rectangular dish, to fit the salmon, with clingfilm.
- Sprinkle over a quarter of the curing mixture, spread over the base and top with one of the salmon fillets, skin-side down.
- Sprinkle over half of the curing mix and top with the other half of the salmon skin-side up, sprinkle over the remaining curing mixture on top of the fillet and wrap loosely in the cling film.
- Weigh the fish down with some cans or weights on top to remove any excess liquid or moisture.
- Place in fridge, turning the salmon over twice a day, for 3-4 days, if possible.
- Do not pour off the curing liquid if it leaks through the cling film, unless there is a change of over-flowing.
- Before serving the gravad lax scrape the curing mix off the fish to remove the salt and pat dry with kitchen paper (you can rinse it off if you want).
- To make the sauce:.
- In a bowl whisk the mustard and sugar together with the egg yolk, gradually whisk in a steady trickle of oil, making sure the oil is well emulsified.
- Start to add the oil at a constant pace, when used up whisk in the vinegar.
- Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed, add the dill and mix well.
- To serve, cut the gravad lax at an angle in slices (gravad lax is traditionally served slightly thicker than smoked salmon). Place 3-4 good slices on a plate along with a spoonful of the sauce.
- Garnish with the dill.
