How to make the classic Swedish salmon starter
Difficulty and servings
Serves 10-12
Preparation and cooking times
30 minutes, plus overnight chilling
- Mix together the coarse sea salt, caster sugar, crushed white peppercorns, crushed coriander seeds, lemon and orange zest and juice with the chopped dill.
- Take the side of salmon fillet. Score the skin and remove any pin bones. Rub a handful of the salt mix into the skin side then lay it on a large double sheet of clingfilm on a flat tray or baking dish. Top with the rest of the salt mix. Wrap in the clingfilm then chill for 24 hours, turning over after 12 hours. Rinse away all of the salt cure, pat dry then sprinkle a layer of chopped dill over the flesh side.
- To serve, hold the knife parallel to the salmon and slice thinly down at an angle of about 30°, leaving the skin behind.
