Cured Salmon with Sauce

Ingredients

Salmon (fillets) 2

Salt 4 tbsp

Sugar 2 tbsp

Juniper berries 1 tsp

Mustard seeds 1 tsp

Pepper

Dill 3 bunches

Mint 1 bunch

Lemon juice

Olive oil

For the sauce:

Dijon mustard 2 tbsp

White wine vinegar 2 tbsp

Sour cream 1 tbsp

Olive oil 3 tsp

Dill 2 tsp

Honey 2 tbsp

Lemon zest

Salt

Pepper

Combine the salt, sugar, pepper, juniper berries, and mustard in a mortar and pestle and grind.

Dry the salmon fillets with paper towels and toss in the seasoning mixture. Cover with dill and mint, squeeze in lemon juice, and drizzle with olive oil. Stack the fillets on top of each other, wrap in plastic wrap, place in a baking dish, press the fish down with something heavy, like the same mortar and pestle, and refrigerate for 42 hours.

Remove the wrap, rinse the fillets, and slice with a sharp knife. Combine all the sauce ingredients and serve with the fish.

Enjoy!
