Cured Salmon Gravlax (Crazy Easy)
Report
Cured Salmon Gravlax is a simple preparation of salmon fillet salted and refrigerated to draw out moisture, then rinsed and served thinly sliced with vegetable oil and diced onion. The process enhances the fish’s texture and flavor without cooking, creating a delicately cured dish.
Description
This gravlax recipe relies on curing a whole salmon fillet coated generously with salt and refrigerated for 12 to 24 hours to firm the flesh and develop flavor. After curing, the salmon is rinsed and soaked briefly in water to remove excess salt, then dried carefully. It is then sliced thinly at an angle for delicate serving.
The salmon slices are arranged in a dish and dressed with vegetable oil and diced yellow onion to complement the cured fish. This preparation yields tender, flavorful salmon that is not cooked but cured, typical of Nordic-style gravlax.
