Steps:
- Remove the bones. Run the back of a chef's knife along the surface of the salmon to help reveal any bones. Use tweezers to pull out the bones, dipping the tweezers in water so the bones slip off. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels and set aside.
- Make the cure. Mix the salt, dill, fennel seeds, coriander, peppercorns and brown sugar in a bowl.
- Prepare the onions. Toss the onions and lime juice in a medium nonreactive bowl.
- Cure the salmon. Spread half of the salt mixture on a large sheet of plastic wrap, then top with half of the onions. Place the salmon on top. Spread the remaining onions and salt mixture on the salmon, making sure to put a little extra around the sides so the fish is completely covered. Wrap the salmon tightly in the plastic wrap. Place in a baking dish to catch any liquid that might leak. Refrigerate 24 to 36 hours.
- Rinse and dry. Carefully remove the plastic wrap and discard it (there will be a lot of liquid). Reserve the onions to serve with the salmon. Rinse the salmon under cold water and pat dry.
- Slice the gravlax. Use a carving knife to cut the salmon in half lengthwise.
- Trim off any remaining dark flesh from the skin side of each piece. Slice on the bias as thinly as possible, wiping your knife with a cold damp towel between slices. To store, wrap the gravlax in plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 5 days.

Steps:
- Place the toasted bread on a cutting board and overlap slices of avocado on each piece of bread, using a quarter to half an avocado for each, depending on the size of the avocado and the bread. Sprinkle the avocado with lemon juice, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place one large slice of salmon on top, ribboning it to fit. Drizzle with a tablespoon of the sauce.
- Garnish with some red onion, sprinkle with the dill fronds, salt and pepper, and serve with extra sauce on the side.
- Whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey mustard, whole-grain mustard, ground mustard, sugar and vinegar in a medium bowl. Combine the olive and grapeseed oils in a small measuring cup. Slowly add the oil mixture to the mustard mixture, whisking constantly, until emulsified. Stir in the dill and salt.
GRAVLAX WITH MUSTARD SAUCE
Steps:
- Cut the salmon in half crosswise and place half the fish skin side down in a deep dish. Wash and shake dry the dill and place it on the fish. Combine the salt, sugar, crushed peppercorns, and fennel seeds in a small bowl and sprinkle it evenly over the piece of fish. Place the other half of salmon over the dill, skin side up. Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Place a smaller pan on top of the foil and weight it with some heavy cans. Refrigerate the salmon for at least 2 and up to 3 days, turning it every 12 hours and basting it with the liquid that collects.
- Lay each piece of salmon flat on a cutting board, remove the bunch of dill, and sprinkle the top with chopped dill. With a long thin slicing knife, slice the salmon in long thin slices as you would for smoked salmon. Serve with dark pumpernickel bread and mustard sauce. You can also serve with chopped red onion and capers, if desired.
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon ground dry mustard
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- Combine the mustards, sugar, and vinegar in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the oil and stir in the chopped dill. Serve with the gravlax.
- Yield: 3/4 cup
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.

SALMON GRAVLAX TARTARE ON CRISP POTATO SLICES
Steps:
- For the Gravlax Cure:
- Mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl. You can make the cure in advance and it will keep, stored in an airtight jar out of the sunlight, for up to 6 months.
- For the Tartare:
- In a medium bowl, mix the salmon with 2 tablespoons of the Gravlax Cure and then add the olive oil, snipped chives, orange zest, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6 hours. Serve topped with a scattering of freshly minced dill on a Crisp Potato Slice or an English cucumber slice.
- Strew some more minced dill on the plate or tray that you're using to pass the hors d'oeuvres - then the Crisp Potato Slices won't skid around and the cucumber will be easier to pick up.
- For The Crisp Potato Slices:
- Position a rack in the top third of the oven and preheat to 350°F.
- Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet; brush each slice with oil, then turn them and brush the other side. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake for 10 minutes, then turn slices and bake for another 5 minutes. Remove all crisp slices with a spatula and continue cooking any slices that look like they need more time. Cool on a rack, then use immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
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.

GRAVADLAX
Cure your own salmon, Scandinavian-style, with dill, juniper, and lemon and serve with a mustard sauce

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.

JULIA CHILD'S TRADITIONAL GRAVLAX
According to Julia, she first ate Gravlax in the Grand Hotel in Oslo and starting making it then. This recipe easily doubles and will keep (after the cure) for a week in the frig or can be frozen. It's easy to do; the hardest part is the slicing. You can serve it with sauce or, my favorite, just plain with cucumber and good bread, and, if you're adventurous, with some ice cold aquavit. Cooking time is curing time. Servings are estimated for appetizers.

Steps:
- Trim the salmon fillet, cutting away any thin uneven edges and the thin end of the tail (which can be reserved for something else).
- Make sure all the pinbones are removed--run your fingers up the fillet; if you feel any bones, remove them with a tweezer or a needle-nosed plier.
- Cut the fillet in half crosswise so that you have two pieces of the same length and roughly the same width.
- Mix the salt and sugar together.
- Sprinkle half the mixture over each fillet and rub it in with your fingers.
- Place one fillet in a glass (or other non-reactive) baking dish big enough to hold it.
- Drizzle about two tablespoons of cognac over each half, rubbing it in with your fingers.
- Spread the dill over the salmon half in the baking dish.
- Lay the other half fillet on top (skin side up).
- Align the two halves.
- Cover closely with a sheet of plastic wrap.
- Place a board or pan on top of the fillets.
- Make sure it is resting on the fish and not on the sides of the baking dish.
- Weight the top with something heavy (a large can of tomatoes for example).
- Place in refrigerator.
- After one day of curing, remove weights and board and turn fillets over(so the top fillet is now on the bottom) and baste with the liquid that has accumulated in the dish.
- Replace weights and board and return to frig.
- On the second day, turn and baste again and slice off a tiny piece to taste.
- If it doesn't taste like it's getting there, add a little more salt and/or cognac on the fish.
- Return to the fridge.
- Cure for a third day, turn and baste again.
- On the fourth day, you can serve the gravlax.
- To serve, clean the dill away and wipe the fish dry with paper towels.
- Use a long thin-bladed slicing knife (sharpened) and start slicing a few inches from the narrow end of the fillet.
- Cut with a back and forth sawing motion toward the narrow end to remove a thin slice of fish.
- Start each succeeding slice a bit farther in from the narrow end; always cut at a flat angle to keep the slices as long and thin as possible.
SALMON GRAVLAX WITH BUCKWHEAT BLINI

Categories appetizer
Time P1DT2h25m
Yield about 40 blini
Number Of Ingredients 28
Steps:
- Remove the zest of the lemon with a vegetable peeler in fat strips and toss it in a bowl. Add the salt, sugar, white peppercorns, and dill; rub all the ingredients together with your hands to release the oils in the zest and dill. Lay the fish out on a large sheet pan or glass baking dish. Pack the salt mixture on top of and around the salmon. Cover with another sheet pan and place a brick or heavy can weight on top to press out the moisture from the salmon. Refrigerate for 24 to 36 hours to cure the fish. Scrape the salt mixture off the salmon and lightly rinse the fish under cool water; pat dry with paper towels. The cured salmon will be firm but pliable.
- To set up the presentation, lay the salmon on a large wooden cutting board. (The whole fish looks great as a center piece on the table, so only slice a quarter of the gravlax at a time.) With a very sharp knife slice the salmon New York Deli-style; paper-thin on a slight angle. Serve the cured salmon with the blini, the dill creme fraiche, and radish-lime salsa on the side. This is an interactive hors d'oeuvre: let your friends attack it, then slice more as needed.
- To prepare the blini, in a large bowl, proof the yeast in the warm milk for 10 minutes, stirring to dissolve. In another large bowl, sift the all-purpose flour, buckwheat flour, salt, and sugar together. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg yolks (reserve the whites) and whisk until smooth. Cover with a towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours.
- Just before you are ready to cook the blini, beat the egg whites until stiff, then fold them into the batter. Place a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and brush it with a little melted butter. Pour 1 tablespoon of the batter into the pan, to make pancakes about 3 inches in diameter. Cook for about 30 seconds, then flip them over with a spatula and cook another 30 seconds. Stack the blini on a platter and wrap them in a cloth napkin to keep them warm.
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl until combined.
- Yield: 3/4 cup
- Put all the salsa ingredients in a food processor and pulse 5 times to combine. Put it in a bowl and serve.
- Yield: 2 1/2 cups
GRAVLAX
Steps:

- Before serving, scrape off the dill and seasoning and cut into thin slices on the diagonal.
- Serve with Hovmastarsas, sweet dill and mustard sauce.
- Whisk together mustard, sugar and vinegar. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the oil in a thin stream, stirring constantly. Add the chopped dill. Store in refrigerator.
GRAVLAX BY NIGELLA LAWSON
This is Nigella Lawson's version of Gravlax, which is slightly different from those already posted here. I made this for the first time for our Christmas Eve Buffet last year and five of us devoured it by the end of the night! Cooking time is the 2-3 days of sitting time in fridge.

Steps:
- Place the salmon fillet, skin-side down, into a wide, shallow dish that fits the salmon snugly. (I used a 9X13 baking dish).
- Place the salt, sugar, mustard and gin into a small bowl and mix well until combined and a smooth paste is formed.
- Spread the mixture over the salmon to cover completely.
- Sprinkle the dill over the mustard paste. Press onto the paste so that no salmon flesh is visible.
- Carefully turn the fish over so that the skin is now facing up.
- Cover the dish with cling film/plastic wrap and press it down onto the top and edges of the fish before wrapping it around the sides of the dish. Repeat the process with another layer of cling film.
- Apply weight to the top of the fish to press it down into the dish, using filled jars or cans or any other weights.
- Transfer the fish to the fridge and leave for 2-3 days. (I did mine for the full 3 days).
- At serving time, remove the fish to a cutting board, skin-side down. Brush off the dill from the salmon.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut very thin diagonal slices of the salmon.
- Place on a serving dish and enjoy.
- Any remaining can be wrapped in cling film and refrigerated.
SALMON GRAVLAX
Waterfront Centre Hotel, Vancouver, British Columbia. Traditionally gravlax is served with ice-cold shots of vodka or aquavit. Clear Creek Distillery's pear brandy is a delicious Northwest match, especially if it's used as the brandy in the brine recipe. Be aware that this salmon needs to cure for 48 hours in the refrigerator. From The Best Northwest Places Cookbook (Volume 1).

Steps:
- Remove the zest of the lemon with a vegetable peeler in fat strips and toss in a bowl. Add the salt, sugar and dill and crush or "muddle" them together using a mortar or a big wooden spoon to release the oils in the lemon rind and the flavor of the dill.
- Select a sheet pan with sides that will hold the fish, line it with plastic wrap and place the fish in the sheet pan. Pack the salt mixture on top of and around the salmon. Cover with plastic wrap and place another sheet pan of the same size on top of the fish. Cover a large concrete paving brick that fits in your pan with plastic wrap (to protect your pan) and place it on top of the top pan to compress the fish to press the moisture out of the fish. Refrigerate for 36 to 48 hours depending on the thickness to cure the fish. Scrape the salt mixture off the salmon and lightly rinse the fish under cool water, pat dry with paper towels. You can serve the whole gravlax at a party on a cutting board, or slice into 4 inch sections and vacuum seal and refrigerate until you need them.
