Ingredients

Servings

1.5 kg salmon fillet, with skin
1 dl sugar
1 tbsp mustard powder
1 tbsp mustard seeds
1 tsp caraway
0.5 dl salt

Method

Rinse the salmon in cold water, dry thoroughly, and remove any visible fat and membranes.
Mix mustard powder, mustard seeds, caraway, sugar, and salt.
Rub the mixture thoroughly into the salmon and cover with plastic wrap.
Let the salmon sit at room temperature until the spice mixture begins to dissolve and penetrate the fish, about 30 minutes.
Apply gentle pressure to the salmon and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours.
Home-cured salmon can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. It can also be frozen.
