GRAVLAX (MARINATED SALMON)



Gravlax (marinated salmon) image

This is the traditional Swedish gravlax recipe. Nowadays lots of varieties have evolved, but this is the original. It is traditionally served with the mustard sauce ('Gravlaxsas') and lemon. I recommend a German or Californian dry or semi-dry white wine to this. Because of the simplicity of the recipe, the salmon has to be of the best quality and freshness available.

Categories     Halibut

Time 21m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons dry mustard
2 tablespoons cold water
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon honey
salt
dried dill
2 lbs center-cut salmon fillets, cut into 4 pieces (see NOTE)
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a small glass or stainless-steel bowl, whisk together the mustard and water. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Whisk in the mayonnaise, honey, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon dill.
  • Heat the broiler.
  • Rub the salmon on both sides with the oil.
  • Put the pieces in a broiler pan or on a baking sheet, skin-side down, about 2 inches apart.
  • Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon dill, and the pepper.
  • Broil the fish until golden brown and just barely done (the fish should still be translucent in the center), about 6 minutes for a 1-inch-thick fillet.
  • Serve the salmon with the sauce alongside.
  • NOTE:.
  • Fish Alternatives,.
  • Because it goes so well with the sauce, salmon is hard to beat for this recipe. However, other thick fillets, such as grouper, sturgeon, or halibut, can be substituted.
  • Tip:.
  • If you broil or roast salmon fillet with the skin and want to serve it skinless, cook the fillet skin-side down and then simply slide a large spatula between the cooked flesh and the skin and lift the fillet. It's especially easy if you don't oil the skin or pan so that the skin sticks to the pan. Line the pan with aluminum foil for easy clean up.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality salmon. Fresh, wild-caught salmon is the best choice for gravlax, as it has a richer flavor and firmer texture.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the salmon. This will help to create clean, even slices.
  • Cure the salmon for at least 24 hours. This will allow the flavors of the cure to penetrate the fish.
  • Rinse the salmon thoroughly before serving. This will remove any excess salt or sugar from the cure.
  • Serve the salmon with your favorite accompaniments. Some popular choices include gravlax sauce, lemon wedges, and capers.

Conclusion:

Gravlax is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or snack. It is a great way to use up leftover salmon, and it can also be made ahead of time, making it a convenient option for busy weeknights. With a little planning, you can easily make gravlax at home and enjoy this Scandinavian delicacy.
