1.5 kg salmon fillet, with skin
0.5 dl salt
1 dl sugar
2 tbsp pink peppercorns
2 pcs red chili

Method

Rinse the salmon in cold water and dry with paper towels.
Make sure the salmon fillet is free of bones.
Cut the chili in half, remove the seeds, and finely chop. Grind the chili and pink peppercorns in a mortar until everything is well mashed together.
Mix the chili and pink peppercorns well with sugar and salt. Rub the mixture thoroughly into the salmon fillet.
Cover the salmon with plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature until the spice mixture begins to melt and penetrate the salmon, maximum 30 minutes.
Then place it in the refrigerator and leave it for at least a day.
