Lightly Salted Salmon with Dill
Appetizers • Finnish
Description
It's also good to add 3 cm of grated ginger root — first the ginger, then salt/sugar, and then dill. It turns out very tasty and tender. Instead of dill, I added oranges, sliced into rounds/ground black currant (it creates a beautiful purple edge when sliced). Now I'm planning to make gravlax — with beets and horseradish. I'll do it and report back.
Ingredients
- Coarse Salt 2 tablespoons

Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Place the fresh salmon fillet with skin (do not wash!) in a curing container (I use a ceramic baking dish), skin side down.

Step 3
Let it sit for about 15 minutes.
Step 4
Mix salt, sugar, and pepper.
Step 5
Rub the fish on all sides.
Step 6
Completely cover with dill.
Step 7
Let it sit on the kitchen counter for a couple of hours.
Step 8
Send it to the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, the fish is ready.
