Great DIY cured fish recipe for the most versatile fish in the kitchen
DIY Cured Salmon
INGREDIENTS
1-1.5 kg salmon fillet
⅓ cup Onion Porcini
Salty Flavour
⅓ cup white sugar
1 bunch dill
DIRECTIONS
Clean and trim the salmon, check for bones and remove the
excess fats.
Lay out cling film, enough to wrap the salmon.
Lay salmon skin side down on cling film and cover top flesh
with dill sprigs. (Be generous)
Mix the Onion Porcini Salty Flavour and sugar, cover entire
salmon flesh, press it down onto the salmon.
Wrap salmon in cling film (Double wrap to guard against leaks)
then place on a tray in the fridge and leave to cure for 2-3
days, till fish feels firm.
Remove salmon from fridge and wash salt, sugar and dill off
under cold water, pat dry and place in fridge on a rack to air
dry till the flesh feels tacky.
This is ready to eat as cured salmon, thinly sliced over pasta,
avocado salad or my favourite scrambled eggs.
You can also hot or cold smoke the salmon for more flavour.
