20 portions
Metric Imperial

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rock salt
  • 2-3 cups water
  • 500g salmon fillet
  • 1 and 1/2 cups pure Canadian maple syrup (preferably golden colour for its delicate flavour)
  • bunch dill, chopped
  • 5g croute or toasts (2-3 per serving)

Method

  1. Mix the salt and water to make brine.
  2. Soak the salmon fillet in the brine for 15-30 mins.
  3. Remove and dry with a cloth. Place in a container and cover with maple syrup and cure in the fridge for 6 hours, turning halfway through the process.
  4. Remove and place on a tray and top with chopped dill.
  5. Place cured salmon on a croute or biscuit with grain mustard or topping of your choice.

This six-hour cured salmon is bursting with flavour. Delicate-tasting maple syrup infuses the fish, adding a subtle sweetness that strengthens the longer it cures. Serve this delicious Christmas salmon as a starter with lemon and dill, topped with a paprika and maple sour cream.
