Yield 8-10 serving(s)

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 tablespoon sugar
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.
  • When finished, remove the salmon from the dish and scrape off the seasonings and dill.
  • 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.

The gravlax was delicious! I used a whole side of salmon, and it cured perfectly in 3 days. I served it with a variety of accompaniments, including crème fraîche, capers, and red onion. Everyone loved it!
