Citrus And Vodka Cured Salmon

Recipe Ingredients

1/2 cup	118ml	Kosher salt
1/4 cup	36g / 1.3oz	Chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons	30ml	Grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons	30ml	Grated orange zest
2 tablespoons	30ml	Grated lime zest
1/4 cup	59ml	Absolut Citron Vodka
3 tablespoons	45ml	Sugar
2 lbs	908g / 32oz	Fresh salmon fillet with skin on - pin bones removed,
		Rinsed under cold water

Recipe Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine the salt, dill, zest's, vodka and sugar together. Place the salmon, skin-side down, on several large sheets of plastic wrap. Cover the entire salmon with the curing mixture, packing the cure into the salmon. Wrap the salmon completely and tightly in the plastic wrap and place the salmon, skin-side down on a half sheet pan. Place something heavy, like a skillet, weights or a brick (which needs to be wrapped in plastic wrap) on top of the wrapped salmon. This will help infuse the salmon into the mixture. Refrigerate the salmon for 24 hours.

Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and wipe off the salt mixture. Rinse the salmon under cold water, removing all of the cure. Using a sharp knife, slice the salmon diagonally, paper thin and set aside.

This recipe yields 8 servings.
