- 2 x skin-on salmon fillets - (abt 2 lbs ea)
- 1/4 c. coarse (kosher) or possibly regular salt
- 1/4 c. sugar
- 1 Tbsp. white or possibly black peppercorns crushed or possibly coarsely grnd
- 1/4 c. coarsely-minced fresh dill Rye or possibly dark cocktail bread slices (optional)
- 2 Tbsp. stone-grnd sweet mustard, sweet-warm mustard, or possibly country-style Dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp. white wine vinegar

- 1/3 c. vegetable oil
- 1 Tbsp. finely-minced fresh dill weed (or possibly 1 1/2 tspns dry dill weed)
Инструкции
- For the sauce, mix the mustard, vinegar and sugar in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil. Stir in the dill. Chill, 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 possibly needle-nose pliers. Wipe the flesh with a damp paper towel. Combine the salt, sugar and peppercorns in a small bowl. Rub the mix onto the flesh side of both fillets.
- Sprinkle the dill proportionately 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 possibly baking sheet on top and weight it down with three 1- to 2-lb. cans of food. Chill 36 to 48 hrs, turning the bag of fillets over every 12 hrs.
- Lift fillets from the bag and throw away 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 possibly dark bread.
- NOTE: You can keep gravlax in the refrigerator up to 10 days after curing, serving it anytime withing which span. Wrap sliced or possibly unsliced gravlax in plastic and store in the coldest part of your refrigerator.
- This recipe yields 72 slices.
- Comments: This traditional Scandanavian 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 possibly select 2 equal-size pcs of center-cut fillet weighing 1 1/2 to 2 pounds total.
- Use previously frzn salmon or possibly freeze fish at 0 degrees for 48 hrs to kill any parasites which may be present.
- Yield: 72 slices
