- 1 bunch fresh parsley or cilantro, or dill or a combination)
- 1 lemon zested and squeezed
- 2 tablespoons black peppercorns whole
Directions:
- Add half of the sugar and salt to the bottom of a baking dish (or any glass or ceramic dish) Place fish on top and the other half of the salt and sugar and the rest of the ingredients on top of the fish.
- Place plastic wrap on top and something very heavy on top that will press the fish down (a large brick is ideal but you can use a pot with water inside) Let sit in fridge for 2-4 days.
- Rinse off fish and thinly slice.
Notes & Tips:
This method of cooking is called curing, where the salt and sugar 'cooks' the fish over time. Homemade lox (gravlox) Be sure to have a really fresh piece of salmon, not frozen!
