Salmon gravlax

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 3 day

1. STEP 1

   

   how to make salmon gravlax? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. It is better to take the salmon chilled for this dish. Rinse the fish in running water and dry with paper towels. If you have frozen fish, defrost it first. You will learn the intricacies of defrosting by reading an article on this topic. There is a link at the end of this recipe.

2. STEP 2

   

   In a small bowl, combine the curing mixture: salt, sugar and ground black pepper, if using. Stir

3. STEP 3

   

   Spread this mixture completely over a piece of clean salmon on all sides, rubbing it into the fish.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add peppercorns (in this case I have a mixture of peppercorns, which can be partially ground or crushed in a mortar), also rub the pepper well into the flesh of the fish.

5. STEP 5

   

   Wash fresh dill in running water, dry, chop not very finely and place on the fish on all sides. Cover the entire fish with dill. Fold the piece so that the skin is on top. If a lot of gravlax is made at once, layers of fish are stacked on top of each other so that the skin of the fish is on top.

6. STEP 6

   

   Now wrap the salmon tightly in cling film, place it in any container and place it on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator, pressing it down with a weight on top. Can be placed in a cold basement or cellar. Keep the fish for 3-4 days. After this time it will be ready.
