Beet Root Gravlax Recipe
Servings
10
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds piece of salmon (In one piece, skin on, try to get a centre cut)
- ¾ cup sugar
- ⅓ cup kosher salt
- Handful of peppercorns
- 2 tbsp gin
- 1 bunch dill (washed)
- 2 raw beets (washed, roughly chopped)
Instructions
- 1
Place the beets and the dill in the bowl of the food processor and pulse until chopped, add the sugar, salt, peppercorns and gin, pulse to mix.
- 2
Place the salmon on a piece of parchment that is more than double the size of the fish. The parchment should be on a very large piece of plastic wrap, double the size of the parchment. You will need two pieces of plastic wrap side by side.
- 3
Spread the beet mixture over the fish and pat it down.
- 4
Tightly wrap the parchment over the fish and then the plastic wrap and place in a glass dish.
- 5
Place a heavy weight on top of the fish (I use a brick) and place in the fridge for 48 hours.
- 6
After 2 days, remove the weight and unwrap the fish and wash the fish clean.
- 7
Slice the fish on a diagonal into very thin wide slices. Enjoy.
