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.

SALT AND SUGAR CURED SALMON GRAVLAX APPETIZER
Steps:
- Fillet the salmon or have the fishmonger fillet it for you; the fish need not be scaled.
- Lay both halves, skin side down, on a plate.
- Sprinkle with the salt, sugar, and pepper, spread the dill over the salmon and splash on your liquor of choice.
- Sandwich the fillets together, tail to tail, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap.
- Cover the salmon "sandwich" with another plate and something that weighs about a pound -- an unopened can of coffee or beans, for example. Refrigerate.
- Open the package every 12 to 24 hours and baste, inside and out, with the accumulated juices.
- On the second or third day, when the flesh has lost its translucence, slice thinly as you would smoked salmon -- on the bias and without the skin -- and serve with rye bread, pumpernickel or bialys and lemon wedges.

GRAVLAX, SALT-CURED SALMON
With a sharp knife carefully slice on the diagonal to get slices as thin as you can without them falling to bits, leaving the skin. With practice you can become pretty good at this. Serve on bagels with cream cheese, a thin slice of onion and capers, and a squeeze of lemon. Or on toast, or crackers. The traditional Swedish way is on pumpernickel bread with equal parts dijon mustard, sugar, white vinegar emulsified with 3 parts regular olive or canola oil.

Steps:
- It's best to buy two sides of the same salmon, or at least two opposites sides that are fairly close in size.
- The above ingredients are for 1lb of salmon, so adjust (presumably) upwards as required.
- Defrost salmon and pat dry with paper towels.
- Remove any bones you detect with clean pliers.
- Lay flat on a baking sheet covered with plastic wrap, skin side down, so that you can easily flip one side onto the other, back the way they would be if it were a whole fish.
- Take the salt, sugar and pepper and mix thoroughly in a bowl.
- Evenly apply the salt/sugar/pepper mix onto the salmon flesh, being careful to cover every part, with a little less for the thin ends, and more on the thicker parts.
- Sprinkle the dill over the salted fish.
- Flip one side over onto the other making a sandwich.
- Place one end of a long strip of muslin underneath the fish.
- Roll the fish over toward you, and tug a little on the muslin to tighten. Repeat until out of muslin.
- You don't need to tug very hard, each time you do it the pressure increases more and more.
- Place the fish on the baking sheet to catch drips and place in the fridge.
- Turn once or twice per day for three days.
- Unwrap, and rinse off the cure mix and dill quick as you can so the salmon doesn't soak too much. Carefully pat dry with paper towels. This will keep for a week or freeze for 3 months.
- With a sharp knife carefully slice on the diagonal to get slices as thin as you can without them falling to bits, leaving the skin.
- With practice you can become pretty good at this.

- Add fennel seeds, coriander seeds and juniper berries to a pan. Place over low heat and cook for about 30 seconds, then remove from the heat and crush them using a pestle and mortar. Finely chop the dill. In a small bowl stir to combine salt, sugar and smoked paprika. Add the ground seeds and berries and zest of one lime, stir to combine.
- Sprinkle half of the cure mixture over a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the salmon on top of the cure mix skin side down. Sprinkle the rest of the cure mix over the salmon and press the cure mix into the salmon fillet so it incorporates as much of the mixture as possible. Transfer the salmon fillet to a large vacuum bag, making sure the fillet is covered in cure mix. Vacuum the salmon fillet using a Vacuum machine. We used a powerful Slovenian Vacuum Machine SV2000 from Status Metlika. Place in a fridge for 24 - 48 hours.
- Remove the cured salmon fillet from the fridge. Open the vacuum bag and rinse the salmon under cold running water to remove all the cure mixture. Tap dry using a paper towel. Place on a wire rack or large tray and place in the fridge for 1 - 2 hours. Use a very sharp knife to thinly slice the gravlax and serve.
- You can serve your Salmon Gravlax immediately or vacuum it again and store it. Store in a fridge for up to 3 weeks or place in the freezer for up to 2 months. Defrost by bringing it to room temperature.
