Gravlax, the swedish-style marinated salmon

Ingredients

• 5.3 oz salmon filet
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup salt
• 1 pinch of pepper
• 1 Tbsp dill
• 1 Tbsp pink peppercorns
• lemon juice

Materials

• Food film

Preparation

• Crush the pink peppercorns. In a bowl, mix the sugar with the salt, crushed pink peppercorns and dill.
• Pour half of the preparation into a glass tray and place the salmon fillet (skinless and without bones) on top. Cover the salmon with the remaining preparation (salt + sugar + dill + pink pepper). Now cover with film and place the tray in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
  
• Remove any water and place in the refrigerator for another 24 hours.
• After this time, rinse the salmon fillet to remove the remains of the marinade.
  
• All that remains now is to cut the salmon fillet into thin slices.
• Sprinkle with pink peppercorns and dill sprigs. Add a drizzle of lemon juice (optional) and serve.
