SLOW ROASTED BROWN SUGAR AND DILL CURED SALMON
This recipe is so different because it combines both curing and slow roasting! This recipe reminds me of my time in Sweden when my hubby ate Salmon EVERY DAY. . .literally weeks of salmon. . .I couldn't do it! Recipe from December 2009 issue of Cooking Light magazine. They recommend serving it with a light salad made of watercress and cucumber. Time does not include the 8 hour cure period. UPDATE: WOWZERS was this cool! So easy! Salmon is restaurant worthy, but we didn't care for the sauce. . .but I will let you decide! We prefer it with my Recipe #368431 instead.

Steps:
- Cut the salmon fillet in 2 pieces crosswise and place one piece in a deep dish, skin side down. Combine the salt, sugar, peppercorns, and fennel seeds in a small bowl. Wash and shake dry the dill and arrange it over the fish. Sprinkle dry mixture evenly over the dill and salmon. Add Pernod over the top of salmon. Place the other piece of salmon over the dill and spices, skin side up. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Place a smaller dish on top of the plastic wrap and weight it with heavy cans. Refrigerate the salmon for at least 2 to 3 days, turning it every 12 hours and basting it with the liquid that collects.
- To serve, lay the salmon fillets flat on a cutting board and scrape off most of the dill and spices. Slice with a long, thin knife, as you would for smoked salmon. Lay the slices of bread on a cutting board, spread with the Gravlax Sauce, and place a slice of salmon on top, covering the bread completely. Cut each bread slice in half, decorate with a sprig of dill, and serve at room temperature.
- Whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey mustard, whole-grain mustard, ground mustard, sugar, and vinegar in a medium bowl. Combine the olive and grapeseed oils in a small measuring cup. Slowly add the oil mixture to the mustard mixture, whisking constantly, until emulsified. Stir in the dill and salt.

BROWN SUGAR-CURED SALMON
This grilled and smoked salmon recipe by the food writer Betty Fussell calls for curing the fish for several hours with salt, brown sugar and spices before smoking it over indirect heat on your grill. While the fatty fish absorbs the smoke beautifully, the fish can also be successfully cooked in a grill pan, or under the broiler. The salt and sugar cure, laced with sweet spices, both flavors the fish and firms up its flesh, giving it a meaty, silky texture. Serve it with a crisp salad for a light supper, or with rice for something more substantial.

Steps:
- Pat fish dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine sugar, salt, pepper, spices and zest. Rub mixture all over fish. Place in a dish, cover and let cure in the fridge for at least 4 hours and preferably 8 hours. Rinse fillets and pat dry. Generously oil salmon.
- Light the grill. Once coals are hot, scatter drained hickory chips over coals. (If you're using a gas grill, place them in a disposable metal pan on the grill next to the salmon.)
- Place salmon flesh-side down on grill and cover, closing top vent so not much smoke is released. Smoke salmon, covered, for about 5 to 6 minutes, then flip. (If the fish is sticking to the grill grate, then it's not ready to flip. Cook for another 3 to 10 minutes, depending upon how hot your fire is. The fish is done when the interior is medium pink and exterior crisp and smoky. Serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh dill and brown sugar. Fresh dill has a more intense flavor than dried dill, and brown sugar will give the salmon a slightly caramelized crust.
- If you don't have a curing container, you can use a large resealable plastic bag. Just make sure to seal the bag tightly to prevent any air from getting in.
- The salmon will be ready in 24-48 hours. The longer you cure it, the more intense the flavor will be. Check the salmon after 24 hours to see if it is ready. It should be firm to the touch and have a slightly translucent color.
- Once the salmon is cured, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the salmon for up to 3 months.
- Serve the salmon with your favorite accompaniments, such as cream cheese, capers, and red onion.
Conclusion:
Brown sugar and dill cured salmon is an easy and affordable way to make your own delicious smoked salmon. You can use this salmon for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and it pairs well with a wide variety of dishes. You can also make this salmon as a gift for friends and family.
