Metric
Imperial
Ingredients
- 1 side salmon approx. 500 – 600g, filleted and skin removed
- 1 ½ cups sea salt flakes
- 1 cup maple sugar
- 3 tbsp pure maple syrup (preferably amber syrup for its rich taste)
- 2 lemons, zested
- ½ bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- ½ bunch dill, chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
FOR THE DILL MAYONNAISE
- ½ bunch fresh dill, finely chopped
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ½ lemon, zested
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 radish, sliced for garnish
Method
- Mix the salt, maple sugar, maple syrup and zest of lemon and spread onto the base of a deep tray.
- Place the salmon on top of the mix.
- Blend the parsley and dill together with a little oil, season with extra salt and generously cover the salmon.
- Tightly secure dish with clingfilm and place in the fridge overnight.
- The next day, and when almost ready to serve, remove the tray from the fridge. Salmon should have a “firm to the touch” texture.
- Gently transfer the cured salmon to a serving board and slice thinly on an angle to include the zesty herb crust.
- For the dill mayonnaise, mix ingredients together in a bowl and chill until ready to serve.
- As a serving suggestion, cut slices of sourdough or rye bread, spread with the dill mayonnaise and add a slice of cured salmon.
- Garnish with fresh lemon and sliced radish.
