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.

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.

GIN AND JUNIPER CURED SALMON - SCANDINAVIAN GRAVLAX
This is a slightly different Gravlax recipe than normal, as it uses gin and juniper for a clean, sophisticated and fresh taste - if you are not keen on gin - you could use vodka instead! Junipers can also be replaced by a few extra peppercorns. Gravlax (pronounced grov-lox) is from the Swedish name for this dish. Norwegians call it gravlaks and the Danish refer to it as Gravad laks. It literally means "buried salmon" and the name refers to the traditional method of preparation for this food: fresh salmon was heavy salted and buried in dry sand to ferment and cure.
