Time P1DT30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro
1 pound wild salmon fillet (skin removed), rinsed and patted dry
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1 jalapeno or serrano pepper, seeded and diced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
Juice of 1 lime
Chopped macadamia nuts, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Cure the salmon: Mix the salt and sugar in a bowl. Place 2 long pieces of plastic wrap on a work surface, overlapping them to form a cross. Put half of the cilantro sprigs in the middle of the plastic wrap and top with half of the salt-sugar mixture. Press the salmon into the mixture, making sure the bottom of the fish is covered with salt and sugar. Sprinkle the salmon with the remaining salt-sugar mixture and rub it in, then place the rest of the cilantro on top. Wrap tightly in the plastic and refrigerate for 24 hours.
  • The next day, unwrap the salmon, rinse off the salt and pat dry. Cut into 1/4-to-1/2-inch cubes.
  • Make the salad: Toss the salmon, cilantro, tomatoes, scallions, jalapeno, vegetable and sesame oils and lime juice in a bowl. (Traditionally, the cured salmon is flaked and "massaged" with the other ingredients by hand.) Garnish the salad with chopped macadamia nuts, if desired.

Categories     appetizer

Time P1DT6h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups kosher salt or Hawaiian salt
1/2 cup sugar
4 (6-ounce) sushi-quality salmon fillets
3 fresh limes
1 large red onion, diced find
2 large tomatoes, seeds removed and diced fine
4 scallions, tender green and white parts only sliced on the diagonal into very thin slices
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill leaves

Steps:

  • Please note that this recipe takes 36 hours to complete.
  • Begin curing the salmon the day before. Combine the salt and sugar and mix well. In a shallow nonreactive container which is large enough to accommodate the salmon fillets in a single layer, spread half the salt/sugar mixture, reserving the balance. Lay the salmon fillets on top of the mixture and use the rest of the salt/sugar mixture to completely cover the fish fillets. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours to salt-cure.
  • Early the next day, microwave the limes in a small bowl to release the essential oils, and set aside until they are just cool enough to handle. Soak the salmon fillets in cold water to remove most of the salt. Rinse and dry the same non-reactive container in which you cured the salmon. Place the fillets in the container and squeeze the lime juice over, cover and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours to allow the acids in the lime juice to chemically cure the fish.
  • Dice the lime cured salmon into small cubes, keeping in mind that the completed salad will resemble the texture of salsa. Add red onion, scallions, and tomato and gently fold in. Season, to taste, with black pepper and chill.
  • Transfer salad to serving dish and sprinkle with fresh dill.
