Best Gravlaks With Sweet Mustard Sauce Recipes

GRAVLAX WITH SWEET MUSTARD AND DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the curing mix: place the salt, sugar and white pepper into a medium sized bowl. Add the dill and stir to combine.
• Line a large, shallow, rectangular dish, to fit the salmon, with plastic wrap. Sprinkle over a quarter of the curing mixture, spread over the base and top with one of the salmon fillets, skin-side down.
• Sprinkle over half of the cure and top with the other half of the salmon skin-side up.
• Sprinkle over the remaining curing mixture on top of the fillet and wrap up in the plastic wrap.
• Weigh the fish down with some cans or weights on top to remove any excess liquid or moisture.
• Place in fridge, turning the salmon over every 6 hours, for 3-4 days, where possible.
• Before serving the gravlax, rinse the cure off the fish to remove the salt and pat dry with kitchen paper.
• Sprinkle the remaining dill over one side of the salmon and then sandwich the two fillets together again.
• Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill for 6 hours.
• To make the sauce: in a large bowl whisk the mustard and sugar together with the egg yolk.
• Gradually whisk in a steady trickle of oil, making sure the oil is well emulsified. Start to add the oil at a constant pace.
• Add the fresh dill and mix well.
• To serve, cut the gravlax thinly (gravlax is traditionally served thicker than smoked salmon).
• Place 3-4 good slices on a plate along with a spoonful of the sauce.
• Serve with rye bread.

Steps:

• Cut the salmon in half crosswise and place half the fish skin side down in a deep dish. Wash and shake dry the dill and place it on the fish. Combine the salt, sugar, crushed peppercorns, and fennel seeds in a small bowl and sprinkle it evenly over the piece of fish. Place the other half of salmon over the dill, skin side up. Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Place a smaller pan on top of the foil and weight it with some heavy cans. Refrigerate the salmon for at least 2 and up to 3 days, turning it every 12 hours and basting it with the liquid that collects.

With a long thin slicing knife, slice the salmon in long thin slices as you would for smoked salmon. Serve with dark pumpernickel bread and mustard sauce. You can also serve with chopped red onion and capers, if desired.
