Time P1DT12h10m

Yield at least 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup salt
2 cups sugar
1 bunch dill, stems and all, chopped
1 2- to 3-pound fillet of salmon, pin bones removed

Steps:

  • Mix together the salt, sugar and dill. Place the salmon, skin side down, on a large sheet of plastic wrap. Cover the flesh side of the salmon with the salt mixture, making sure to coat it completely. (There will be lots of salt mix; just pile it on.)
  • Wrap the fish well. If the temperature is below 70 degrees, and it is not too inconvenient, let it rest outside the refrigerator for about 6 hours, then refrigerate for 18 to 24 hours more. Otherwise, refrigerate immediately for about 36 hours.
  • Unwrap the salmon, and rinse off the cure. Dry, then slice on the bias. Serve plain or with lemon wedges, creme fraiche, sour cream or a light vinaigrette.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my gravlax turned out really dry. I think I might have overcured it.
