Ingredients

800 g salmon fillet with skin
1000 g brown cane sugar
80 ml vodka or pálinka
500 g coarse sea salt
30 g fresh dill
150 g lemon (zest and juice)
1 teaspoon whole black pepper (coarsely crushed)

Tools for marinating

cling film

Remove any pin bones from the salmon fillet using tweezers. In a bowl, mix the brown sugar with the coarse sea salt, coarsely crushed black pepper, and finely grated lemon zest.

Sprinkle one-third of the sugar-salt mixture onto the bottom of a baking tray or dish. Place the salmon fillet skin-side down, then cover it with fresh dill and the remaining curing mixture. Finally, drizzle with vodka or pálinka. Cover tightly with cling film and refrigerate for 12–16 hours to cure.

After the curing time, remove the fish, rinse it under cold running water, then thoroughly pat dry with paper towels. Using a long, sharp knife, slice it into thin, 2–3 mm slices, holding the knife at an angle. Serve with toast, mustard sauce, or blinis.
