EASY GRAVLAX
We seasoned the gravlax with coriander and white peppercorns, but you may use juniper berries, caraway seeds, or grated lemon peel. Serve with salmon roe, snipped chives, and a dollop of creme fraiche atop our Curry Waffles.

Steps:
- Combine the sugar, salt, peppercorns, and coriander seeds in a small bowl. Set aside. Place the salmon fillets on a parchment-lined work surface, and remove any remaining bones.
- Cover the flesh side of each with the spice mixture, gently rubbing it onto the flesh.
- Spread the dill on top of the spices; pour the aquavit or vodka over the dill.
- Place one fillet on top of the other, and wrap tightly in plastic wrap.
- Place the wrapped fillets in a glass or enamel pan. Place a heavy object, such as a canned good, in a smaller pan, and place on top of the fish. Transfer both pans to the refrigerator, and chill for 12 hours. Remove the fish from the pan; pour off the liquid that has accumulated in the pan and discard. Turn the fish over, and place the weighted pan back on top of the fish. Continue to refrigerate for 3 more days, turning the fish over every 12 hours.
- After 3 days, remove and discard the plastic wrap. Scrape the dill and spices from the surface of both fillets. To serve, slice each fillet on the diagonal, as thinly as possible. Wrap the remaining gravlax in plastic wrap, and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

- Serve with Hovmastarsas, sweet dill and mustard sauce.
- Whisk together mustard, sugar and vinegar. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the oil in a thin stream, stirring constantly. Add the chopped dill. Store in refrigerator.
EASY AND SIMPLE GRAVLAX
Who doesn't like smoked salmon? But with the prices these days, who can afford it? Here's an easy and less expensive presentation of salmon to be served as you would the smoked variety. I prefer the fresh, aromatic taste of this salmon cured with juniper berries than I do the smoked. Serve with a mustard sauce or with buttered dark bread rounds and a squeeze of lemon.

GRAVLAX
Every time I thought of making gravlax at home, I nixed the idea because I couldn?t imagine trying to stuff a whole salmon into my refrigerator. My mother says to me one day, "Why don?t you just try a pound, Kathleen? You?re not feeding an army." I guess you just don?t start thinking clearly until you have four children. Never occurred to me. Off to the butcher I went to buy two pieces of salmon the same size and shape to equal one pound. The perfect amount for a family brunch with just enough leftover for a delicious lunch for one or two the next day. Buying two pieces the same shape is important so when you press them together, flesh to flesh (think salmon sandwich) all surfaces are covered with the marinade. . Of course you?ll be using freshly cracked black pepper, which can be tricky to measure just out of the peppermill. Grind on to a piece of paper and then pour into measuring spoon over the zipper-lock bag you?ll be marinating the salmon. If you spill, it will end up in the right place.

Steps:
- Into a zipper-lock bag, pour salt, sugar and dill. Squish around until combined. Add vodka, squish around some more. Add salmon to the bag. Rub and press some of the marinade over the salmon flesh. Press the two pieces together sandwich style. Rub the rest of the marinade over the skin side of the salmon. Seal the bag. Place in the refrigerator overnight.

JULIA CHILD'S TRADITIONAL GRAVLAX
According to Julia, she first ate Gravlax in the Grand Hotel in Oslo and starting making it then. This recipe easily doubles and will keep (after the cure) for a week in the frig or can be frozen. It's easy to do; the hardest part is the slicing. You can serve it with sauce or, my favorite, just plain with cucumber and good bread, and, if you're adventurous, with some ice cold aquavit. Cooking time is curing time. Servings are estimated for appetizers.

Steps:
- Trim the salmon fillet, cutting away any thin uneven edges and the thin end of the tail (which can be reserved for something else).
- Make sure all the pinbones are removed--run your fingers up the fillet; if you feel any bones, remove them with a tweezer or a needle-nosed plier.
- Cut the fillet in half crosswise so that you have two pieces of the same length and roughly the same width.
- Mix the salt and sugar together.
- Sprinkle half the mixture over each fillet and rub it in with your fingers.
- Place one fillet in a glass (or other non-reactive) baking dish big enough to hold it.
- Drizzle about two tablespoons of cognac over each half, rubbing it in with your fingers.
- Spread the dill over the salmon half in the baking dish.
- Lay the other half fillet on top (skin side up).
- Align the two halves.
- Cover closely with a sheet of plastic wrap.
- Place a board or pan on top of the fillets.
- Make sure it is resting on the fish and not on the sides of the baking dish.
- Weight the top with something heavy (a large can of tomatoes for example).
- Place in refrigerator.
- After one day of curing, remove weights and board and turn fillets over(so the top fillet is now on the bottom) and baste with the liquid that has accumulated in the dish.
- Replace weights and board and return to frig.
- On the second day, turn and baste again and slice off a tiny piece to taste.
- If it doesn't taste like it's getting there, add a little more salt and/or cognac on the fish.
- Return to the fridge.
- Cure for a third day, turn and baste again.
- On the fourth day, you can serve the gravlax.
- To serve, clean the dill away and wipe the fish dry with paper towels.
- Use a long thin-bladed slicing knife (sharpened) and start slicing a few inches from the narrow end of the fillet.
- Cut with a back and forth sawing motion toward the narrow end to remove a thin slice of fish.
- Start each succeeding slice a bit farther in from the narrow end; always cut at a flat angle to keep the slices as long and thin as possible.

Cure your own salmon, Scandinavian-style, with dill, juniper, and lemon and serve with a mustard sauce

Steps:
- Pat the salmon dry with kitchen paper and run your hands over the flesh to see if there are any stray small bones - if there are, use a pair of tweezers to pull them out. Set the salmon fillets aside.
- Tip the salt, sugar, peppercorns, lemon zest, juniper and dill into a food processor and blitz until you have a bright green, wet salt mixture or 'cure'. Unravel some cling film but keep it attached to the roll. Lay the first fillet of salmon skin-side down and then pack the cure over the flesh. Drizzle with gin, if using and top with the 2nd fillet, flesh-side down. Roll the sandwiched fillets tightly in cling film to create a package.
- Place the fish in a shallow baking dish or shallow-sided tray and lay another tray on top. Weigh the tray down with a couple of tins or bottles and place in the fridge for at least 48 hrs or up to 4 days, turning the fish over every 12 hours or so. The longer you leave it, the more cured it will become.
- To make the sauce, tip all the sauce ingredients into a blender. Blitz until you have a thickened dressing.
- To serve, unwrap the fish and brush off the marinade with kitchen paper. Rinse it if you like. You can slice the fish classically into long thin slices, leaving the skin behind, or remove the skin it and slice it straight down. Serve the sliced fish on a large platter or individual plates with pumpernickel bread, dill and mustard sauce.

Steps:
- Mix together the salt, sugar and dill. Place the salmon, skin side down, on a large sheet of plastic wrap. Cover the flesh side of the salmon with the salt mixture, making sure to coat it completely. (There will be lots of salt mix; just pile it on.)
- Wrap the fish well. If the temperature is below 70 degrees, and it is not too inconvenient, let it rest outside the refrigerator for about 6 hours, then refrigerate for 18 to 24 hours more. Otherwise, refrigerate immediately for about 36 hours.
- Unwrap the salmon, and rinse off the cure. Dry, then slice on the bias. Serve plain or with lemon wedges, creme fraiche, sour cream or a light vinaigrette.
