Salmon - Side 1Kg

Great for gravlax Gravalax, also known as gravlax or gravad lax, is a traditional Nordic dish consisting of raw salmon that has been cured with a mixture of salt, sugar, and dill. This delicacy is often served sliced thinly and accompanied by a mustard-dill sauce, bread, or as a part of a seafood platter. Using a whole side of salmon to make gravalax is a popular method that allows for a large quantity of this delectable dish to be prepared at once. The first step in the process is to procure a high-quality, fresh side of salmon, ensuring that the fish is firm, scales removed, and pin bones removed. Once the salmon is properly prepared, a mixture of kosher salt, sugar, and freshly ground black pepper is generously spread onto the flesh side of the fish. Dill is then added on top of the mixture, and the second side of the salmon is placed on top to create a sandwich. The salmon is then wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerated for a minimum of 48 hours, during which time the salt and sugar will work to cure the fish and infuse it with the flavors of dill and pepper. Utilizing a whole side of salmon in the preparation of gravalax ensures that a large quantity of this beloved dish can be effortlessly made, making it an ideal choice for entertaining or for those who simply can't get enough of this Scandinavian delicacy.
