SIMPLE, HOMEMADE SALMON GRAVLAX
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Rinse the salmon fillets and pat them dry thoroughly.
- Use tweezers or pliers to pull out any pin bones, if necessary.
- Drizzle the aquavit or vodka evenly over the flesh of each fillet.
- In a small bowl, combine the salt, sugar, and pepper.
- Divide the mixture into 3 even piles within the bowl.
- Divide one of the thirds of curing mix in half and place on a rimmed baking sheet or baking pan in the shape of one of the fillets.
- Lay a fillet skin-side down on the mixture. Spread a third of the curing mixture on the flesh of that fillet.
- Spread the remaining third of the curing mixture on the flesh side of the other fillet. Sprinkle the dill, if using, over both fillets.
- Lay the second fillet flesh to flesh on the first fillet. Sprinkle the remaining curing mixture over the skin of the top fillet.
- Cover the fillets and baking sheet or pan with foil or plastic wrap. Place a cutting board or second baking sheet on top of the covered fish and top it with something heavy (cans, pots, or pans) to weigh the fish down. Place it all in the fridge and let chill for about 12 hours or overnight.
- Remove from the fridge, unwrap, and discard the accumulated liquid in the pan. Turn over the fillets so the bottom one is on top.
- Cover the pan, weigh down the fish again, and return to the refrigerator. Let chill another 12 hours.
- The fish is now cured and ready to serve, but it will continue to benefit from another 12 to 24 hours of being weighed down and chilled, so feel free to repeat these steps a second time around.
- When ready to eat, pat dry, and thinly slice the gravlax against the grain using a very sharp knife.
- Serve and enjoy.

GRAVADLAX
A firm favourite from my travels, this beautiful, delicate dish sums up everything I love about Swedish food: it's elegant, clean and fresh, it looks incredible and is a doddle to make. You'll be so proud when you see the finished result.

Steps:
- Peel and trim the beets and place in a food processor with the salt, sugar, vodka and dill.
- Finely grate in the lemon zest, add the horseradish, finely grating it if fresh, then blitz until combined.
- Rub a little mixture on to the salmon skin, then place the salmon on a large tray, skin side down, and pat the remaining mixture all over it so that the flesh is completely covered.
- Cover the tray tightly with clingfilm. Pop a weight on top to help pack everything down evenly, then put the whole thing into the fridge for 36 hours. Please use your instincts here - if you have a particularly chunky side of salmon you may want to leave it for up to 48 hours to allow for proper penetration.
- Once cured, unwrap the fish, then, holding the fillet in place, pour the juices down the sink and rub away all the salty topping (it's messy, so you might want to wear gloves).
- Pat the fillet dry with kitchen paper, then tightly wrap in clingfilm (sometimes I like to cover the salmon with freshly picked dill before wrapping, for bonus flavour). Put back into the fridge until needed, where it will keep happily for up to 2 weeks.
- To serve, use a long sharp knife to slice the salmon thinly at an angle and, as the knife touches the skin each time, kink it off, lifting away the salmon.
- Arrange the slices on a board or platter as you go. Delicious with a simple salad and good wholemeal sourdough, as part of a seafood platter, served up at a party or even as part of a festive brekkie spread.

Steps:
- Pat the salmon dry with kitchen paper and run your hands over the flesh to see if there are any stray small bones - if there are, use a pair of tweezers to pull them out. Set the salmon fillets aside.
- Tip the salt, sugar, peppercorns, lemon zest, juniper and dill into a food processor and blitz until you have a bright green, wet salt mixture or 'cure'. Unravel some cling film but keep it attached to the roll. Lay the first fillet of salmon skin-side down and then pack the cure over the flesh. Drizzle with gin, if using and top with the 2nd fillet, flesh-side down. Roll the sandwiched fillets tightly in cling film to create a package.
- Place the fish in a shallow baking dish or shallow-sided tray and lay another tray on top. Weigh the tray down with a couple of tins or bottles and place in the fridge for at least 48 hrs or up to 4 days, turning the fish over every 12 hours or so. The longer you leave it, the more cured it will become.
- To make the sauce, tip all the sauce ingredients into a blender. Blitz until you have a thickened dressing.
- To serve, unwrap the fish and brush off the marinade with kitchen paper. Rinse it if you like. You can slice the fish classically into long thin slices, leaving the skin behind, or remove the skin it and slice it straight down. Serve the sliced fish on a large platter or individual plates with pumpernickel bread, dill and mustard sauce.

GRAVAD LAX WITH A MUSTARD AND DILL SAUCE
I love making this for dinner parties and any time really when salmon is available at a reasonable price. Serve with buttered toast or rye bread and slices of cucumber. Curing time not included. The sauce is like a mayonnaise and is quickly made using an electric mixer.

Steps:
- To make the curing mix: place the salt, sugar and white pepper into a medium sized bowl, add the dill and stir to combine.
- Line a large, shallow, rectangular dish, to fit the salmon, with clingfilm.
- Sprinkle over a quarter of the curing mixture, spread over the base and top with one of the salmon fillets, skin-side down.
- Sprinkle over half of the curing mix and top with the other half of the salmon skin-side up, sprinkle over the remaining curing mixture on top of the fillet and wrap loosely in the cling film.
- Weigh the fish down with some cans or weights on top to remove any excess liquid or moisture.
- Place in fridge, turning the salmon over twice a day, for 3-4 days, if possible.
- Do not pour off the curing liquid if it leaks through the cling film, unless there is a change of over-flowing.
- Before serving the gravad lax scrape the curing mix off the fish to remove the salt and pat dry with kitchen paper (you can rinse it off if you want).
- To make the sauce:.
- In a bowl whisk the mustard and sugar together with the egg yolk, gradually whisk in a steady trickle of oil, making sure the oil is well emulsified.
- Start to add the oil at a constant pace, when used up whisk in the vinegar.
- Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed, add the dill and mix well.
- To serve, cut the gravad lax at an angle in slices (gravad lax is traditionally served slightly thicker than smoked salmon). Place 3-4 good slices on a plate along with a spoonful of the sauce.
- Garnish with the dill.

Steps:
- For the salmon: Place the salmon in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, skin side down. Blend the fennel seeds, dill seeds, black peppercorns and coriander seeds in a spice grinder. Mix the salt, sugar and ground spices in a small bowl and rub them over the top of the salmon. Cover the salmon with the dill, and then wrap the salmon dish in plastic and refrigerate. Leave the salmon in the refrigerator for 2 days to cure.
- For the fennel: Wash the fennel in cold water and remove the top stalks. Cut the bulb in half through the stem, and then slice the bulb halves on a mandoline into a bowl of ice water. Pick the fennel dill (the top of the fennel) into the ice water with the fennel slices.
- For the raeve sauce: Whisk to combine the Dijon mustard, grainy mustard, brown sugar and dill in a medium bowl. Whisk until the sugar crystals are dissolved, about 1 minute.
- For the croutons: Tear the rye bread into 1/2-inch pieces. Melt the butter in a small pot and add the bread pieces. Toast, stirring occasionally, until the butter is brown and the croutons are crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the pot and drain on a towel-lined plate.
- Remove the fennel and fennel fronds from the ice water and drain on a towel to dry. Place in a medium bowl and toss to combine with the watercress, salt and pepper.
- Use a chef's knife to slice the gravad lax into a 3 1/2-ounce portion per person. Plate and top with 1 tablespoon reeve sauce, 5 to 6 rye croutons and 2 tablespoons fennel and watercress salad.
GRAVAD LAKS (AKA GRAVAD LAX, GRAVLAX, GRAV LAX, GRAVLAKS)
Just had to cover all bases in the title there. ;) Swedish: Gravlax, Norwegian: Gravlaks. Grav means pit/hole/grave + lax/laks means salmon in the respective languages above. Frankly, I don't eat salmon, but my husband loves this dish. Make sure you flip the package in the fridge every 12 hours to evenly marinate the salmon. The yield here varies wildly depending on how much each person eats and how it's served (I've specified appetizers), so please keep that in mind. "Cook" time is marination.

Steps:
- Rinse the filet under lukewarm water and pat dry. Remove any remaining bones with tweezers, pliers or a small child, then cut salmon in half crosswise.
- Place the filet pieces on a large piece of aluminum foil.
- Sprinkle the sugar, salt and pepper over 1/2 of the filet, then completely cover that with a thick layer of dill, making sure you only use the thin leaves of the dill and not the stems. Sprinkle the wine on last. Place the other half of salmon on top like a sandwich, skin side out.
- Wrap up the foil into a firmly closed packet, place on plate and put another plate on top. Weigh down with something heavy (I used a gallon of milk) on the top plate and put in the fridge for 48 hours, turning the salmon every 12 hours to ensure even marinating.
- When the salmon is ready, remove all the dill and set aside, then slice the salmon at a severe angle in the thinnest slices you can manage with an insanely sharp knife, parallel to the skin. The thinner the slice, the better it tastes!
- Serve with fresh dill and pepper on buttered fresh toast.
- Ok, just kidding about the small child.

Steps:
- Wipe salmon with a damp cloth. Leave skin on, but carefully remove bone so that big fillets remain. Be careful not to break fish. Mix together salt, sugar, white pepper and allspice. Rub seasonings carefully into all surfaces of the fish. Sprinkle fish with cognac. Wash dill and shake dry. Place one third of the dill in the bottom of a large deep pan or bowl (not aluminum). Place one piece of salmon, skin side down, on dill. Cover salmon with another third of the dill. Top with second piece of salmon, skin side up and cover with remaining dill. Set heavy plate or board on salmon, or a plate, weighted down. Refrigerate salmon for at least 24, preferably 36 or 48, hours.
- Drain fish and scrape off dill and spices. Slice on a slant, wafer thin, away from the skin. Serve with lemon wedges, mustard sauce and freshly ground black pepper. Gravad lax will keep under refrigeration for about 8-10 days only.
- Variation: In the Scandinavian manner, after draining and scraping fish, remove skin from fish carefully. Cut skin into strips and fry in hot butter until crisp. Add a strip of skin to each serving.
- Combine ingredients and blend thoroughly. Chill sauce for several hours. At serving time, beat smooth with fork or wire whisk - do not use rotary beater. Makes about 1 cup sauce.
