GRAVLAX (MARINATED SALMON)
This is the traditional Swedish gravlax recipe. Nowadays lots of varieties have evolved, but this is the original. It is traditionally served with the mustard sauce ('Gravlaxsas') and lemon. I recommend a German or Californian dry or semi-dry white wine to this. Because of the simplicity of the recipe, the salmon has to be of the best quality and freshness available.

Steps:
- For the salmon, remove all bones with a pair of tweezers, but leave the skin on.
- Rinse.
- Mash the dill stems in a mortar with a little of the salt.
- Mix with the rest of the salt, the sugar and pepper.
- Save the dill leaves for the sauce.
- Cover the flesh side of the fillets with the mixture, and place the fillets flesh-to-flesh in a tray made of glass or stainless steel.
- Cover with plastic foil and put a heavy weight on top (e. g. the mortar or a brick).
- Keep refrigerated for 72 hours, turning the fillets every 12 hours.
- Do not discard the liquid that forms.
- Scrape off the spices and discard the liquid.
- The salmon will keep refrigerated for about a week.
- For the sauce, mix mustard, sugar and vinegar.
- Add the oil a little at the time (as for mayonnaise), constantly stirring.
- Just before serving, add lots of dill and salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice the salmon with a sharp, flexible knife in big, thin slices parallell to the skin.
- Arrange the ice-cold salmon on lettuce leaves with slices of lemon.
- Serve the sauce separately.
- Also serve toasted bread and butter.
GRAVLAX (FRESH SALMON MARINATED IN DILL)
This traditional Scandinavian recipe often appears on Christmas Eve smorgasbords. You can easily halve the recipe to serve a small gathering, too. Buy one fillet and cut it in half cross-wise or select 2 equal-size pieces of center-cut fillet weighing 1 1/2 to 2 pounds total. 12. Use previously frozen salmon or freeze fish at 0 degrees for 48 hours to kill any parasites that may be present.

Steps:
- For the sauce, mix the mustard, vinegar and sugar in a small bowl.
- Gradually whisk in the oil.
- Stir in the dill.
- Refrigerate, tightly covered, up to three days.
- Whisk again before using.
- Serve slightly chilled.
- Run your fingers down the flesh side of each fillet to locate the small pin bones and remove them with tweezers or needle-nose pliers.
- Wipe the flesh with a damp paper towel.
- Combine the salt, sugar and peppercorns in a small bowl.
- Rub the mixture onto the flesh side of both fillets.
- Sprinkle the dill evenly over 1 fillet and lay the other fillet flesh-side down on top, placing the thin end of one over the thick end of the other.
- Place the salmon in a large plastic bag, press out the air and seal tightly.
- Put the salmon on a platter and lay a cutting board or baking sheet on top and weight it down with three 1- to 2-pound cans of food.
- Refrigerate 36 to 48 hours, turning the bag of fillets over every 12 hours.
- Lift fillets from the bag and discard the bag and accumulated liquid.
- Scrape the seasonings off the fish and pat dry. (Fillets can be wrapped in plastic and stored in the refrigerator up to 10 days before serving -- see note below.)
- Place one fillet, skin side down, on a large serving platter (with head end to the left for right-handed people).
- Hold the knife blade tilted so you'll be slicing down through the fillet at a 45-degree angle (rather than straight up and down).
- Begin slicing at the head end, making a 1/8-inch-thick slice.
- At the bottom of slice, turn the knife blade gently to separate the slice from the skin.
- Using the knife, turn the slice over to the left as if turning the page of a book.
- Continue cutting 1/8-inch slices on the angle, separating each from the skin and turning each slice over to partially overlap the previous one.
- Repeat with remaining fillet.
- Garnish with fresh dill and serve with Mustard Dill Sauce and rye or dark bread.
- NOTE: You can keep gravlax in the refrigerator up to 10 days after curing, serving it anytime withing that span. Wrap sliced or unsliced gravlax in plastic and store in the coldest part of your refrigerator.

GRAVLAX
A standard on our holiday table, either Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve. You don't have to buy smoked salmon - you can make your own gravlax. This version is very delicious. Count on refrigerating the gravlax with the spices and dill for 3-4 days before serving. Of Scandinavian origin.

Steps:
- Rinse the fillets in cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Crush the caraway seeds, aniseed, juniper berries, red pepper flakes, and black peppercorns using a mortar and pestle.
- Or place the spices on a cutting board or other hard surface and crush them with the underside of a heavy skillet.
- Combine with the salt, sugar, and dill.
- Place one of the fillets skin side down in a deep ceramic dish just big enough to hold the fillets.
- Rub the fillet with half the spice and dill mixture.
- Rub the other fillet with the remaining mixture and place it skin side up on top of the first, creating a salmon'sandwich' with all the spices and dill in-between.
- Pour the aquavit on top, cover the dish with plastic wrap, and place a heavy weight, such as two heavy plates or a saucepan, on top of the fish.
- Refrigerate for 3 to 4 days, turning the fish every 12 hours and basting it with the brine that accumulates in the dish.
- To serve, dust off some of the spices and slice the fish into thin slices, on the diagonal- the way they cut smoked salmon, with a sharp thin knife.
- Serve with mustard sauce and dark rye bread, for open-faced sandwiches, or with mustard, pickles, and capers.
