The "Coffee recipes" thread and soon to arrive christmas you just have to try this traditonal swedish christmas dish, especially you who like smoked salmon
You all have to excuse my kitchen english, it is even worse than my normal english
Marinated salmon (proprotion for 1 kg)
1 kg saumon (the middle part, both sides)
2 teaspoons of crushed white pepper
4 soup spoons of salt (big grains)
3 soup spoons of sugar
a lot of dill
I always ask the shop to prepare the fishfilets (with skin) so the only thing left is to pull out the fishbones. Rince and dry the two filets.
Mix salt, sugar and the crushed white pepper. Rubb in 1/3 in each filet on the meat side. Put the rest of the mixture on one of the filets together with the fine cut dill. Put the other filet on top, meat to meat, thick against thin and put the two filets in a plastic bag that you close firmly. Place the plastic bag between two stiff boards and wrap it with scotch, the brown one used for boxes, in a way so that it applies pressure on the filets. Put the packet in the fridge, turn it morning and evening for 2-3 days.
Get rid of the liquid in the bag, remove the dill and cut the filets in fine slices and just enjoy.
A traditional way to serve this in Sweden is with boiled potatoes and a sauce called Hovmästarsås or Gravlaxsås.
Adding a very small amount of smoky whisky in the bag (1-2 cl) will give a very nice flavour too
