Gravad Lax/Gravlax/Marinated Salmon


GLUTEN FREE/ PESCETARIAN/DAIRY FREE/PALEO

Love my Swedish background, mostly for Ikea, but also for the food. J One of my favorite dishes is gravlax, a type of marinated salmon, served raw. Thankfully Ikea had a cookbook of Swedish recipes, including gravlax.

It is not too complicated, but does require planning ahead, since it needs to marinate for at least 3 days. Thankfully we have fridges to marinate our salmon in. The original recipe used the cool of the earth to keep the fish until it was ready.

The only thing I’ve changed in this recipe is the sugar type. Oh and if I can’t find salmon with skin I just used skinless. Makes it easier to cut any way.

Ingredients
3 bunches of dill, finely chopped
4 tbsp salt
5 tbsp coconut sugar
2 lbs salmon, filleted, with or without skin
½ tbsp ground pepper
½ tsp ground mustard seed
½ tsp allspice



Recipe
  1. Spread dill on a large sheet of aluminium foil. The foil should be longer than the length of the salmon.
  2. Lay the salmon on the dill (skin down if applicable).
  3. Combine the salt and sugar and rub well into the salmon.
  4. Sprinkle with the remaining spices.
  5. Fold salmon in half and wrap with foil.
  6. Keep refrigerated for 3 days.
  7. Can be served on crisped rye bread, on salads, on crackers with cream cheese and my favorite in sushi rolls.
