Gravlax


Clas has been out buying two big pieces of salmon today and when we got home from work tonight he told me to cure them in salt and sugar.

You put the same amount of salt and sugar on all sides of them (about 1/2 dl of each) + some ground pepper + dill.
Then you lay the two pieces together, with the skin sides out, and put them into a small tight plastic bag which you close around the fish with a knot.
Then you keep it in the refrigerator and you turn it ones every day.
After 3 days it's ready to eat.
Then you open up the plastic bag and take it out and slice it in thin pieces and enjoy it.
It's very delicious to have on dark rye bread, with boiled eggs or as it is.

Now we both look forward to Saturday night when it will be ready.

We eat a lot of salmon , i bake in tin foil with butter and tarragon. i don't know if i could eat it raw !!!!
Now i really fancy the pancake and will be having one or two when we visit.i think i must start to reduce my weight before i come. I have gone up again its so hard to keep thin when you love good food.
Glad to hear your surgery went well. When do you have the hernia done?
