Yield Makes 1 1/4 pounds

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup coarse salt
1 1/2 teaspoons whole coriander seeds
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (1 1/4 pound) boneless salmon fillet, skin on
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon vodka
Small bunch fresh dill, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix together salt, 1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds, and pepper. Place salmon fillet in a large baking dish, skin side down, and rub salt mixture all over both sides of salmon. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.
  • Wipe off salt mixture from salmon and rinse under cold water; pat dry and return to a clean baking dish skin-side down. Drizzle salmon with olive oil and vodka, and sprinkle with dill and remaining teaspoon coriander seeds; turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.
  • Remove salmon from refrigerator and wipe off excess marinade (reserving dill for baguette garnish). Remove skin and slice salmon into 1/4-inch-thick slices; keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
