Ingredients

Servings

1.5 kg salmon fillet, skinless and boneless
0.5 dl salt
1 dl sugar
1 pcs orange
1 pcs lemon
1 pcs lime
1 tbsp pepper, whole green

Method

Rinse the salmon in cold water and dry thoroughly, removing any visible fat and membranes.
Finely chop green pepper, and mix with salt and sugar.
Rinse the orange, lemon, and lime, grate their outermost zest using a fine grater, and mix into the spice blend.
Rub the mixture thoroughly into the salmon, and squeeze the citrus juices over the fish.
Cover with plastic wrap and let the salmon sit at room temperature until the seasoning begins to melt and infuse into the salmon, approximately 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.
