Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 bunch fresh dill stems removed
  • 1 lb frozen salmon filet thawed

For Serving

  • Fun cracker or rustic crusty bread
  • Cottage cheese or your favorite soft cheese
  • Fresh dill
  • Capers
  • slices Lime

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, mix together the salt, sugar, and ground black pepper.
  • Rinse and pat dry the salmon fillet and lay it on a long piece of plastic wrap.
  • Sprinkle all of the salt/sugar/pepper mixture on top of the salmon fillet.
  • Lay the fresh dill on top and tightly (but gently) wrap the salmon so that there is no air inside.
  • Place the salmon on a plate and refrigerate for two days.
  • Unwrap the salmon and rinse off the salt and sugar and pat the fillet dry. Discard the dill.
  • Using a sharp knife, slice the fillet diagonally so that you end up with the widest and longest cuts. Serve these slices by themselves, or on a cracker with capers, dill, and cheese.
