Number Of Ingredients 12

4 lbs fresh salmon, center cut
3 1/2 tablespoons coarse salt
3 1/2 tablespoons sugar
4 teaspoons white peppercorns, crushed
1 bunch fresh dill
2 tablespoons mild mustard
1 teaspoon mustard powder

1 1/2 tablespoons wine vinegar
3 tablespoons salad oil
salt and pepper
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • Remove the backbone and other bones from the salmon and cut in half lengthwise.
  • Combine the salt, sugar and pepper and rub over the insides of the fish.
  • Place one piece, skin side down, in a large bowl or serving dish.
  • Place the dill over the salmon. Top with the other piece of fish, skin side up.
  • Place a heavy platter over the salmon and weight it down.
  • Refrigerate, covered, for 24 hours. Turn the fish once or twice during this time.

  • Cut off skin and slice the salmon diagonally into thin slices.
  • Serve salmon.
  • For Gravlaxsas: Combine the mustard, sugar and vinegar in a bowl and mix well together to make a paste. Slowly add the oil, beating well after each addition. Beat until the sauce is the consistency of mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper and add the dill. Makes 1/2 cup.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my gravlax didn't turn out well. It was too mushy.

The gravlax was delicious. The only thing I would change is to use less salt.

This gravlax was a bit too salty for my taste. Otherwise, it was good.
