Time P2DT15m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 pounds fresh salmon, center cut
1 large bunch of dill, plus 1/4 cup chopped dill for serving
1/2 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons white peppercorns, crushed
1 tablespoon whole fennel seeds
Pumpernickel bread, for serving
Mustard Sauce, recipe follows

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.
Lay each piece of salmon flat on a cutting board, remove the bunch of dill, and sprinkle the top with chopped dill. 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.
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon ground dry mustard
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/3 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
Combine the mustards, sugar, and vinegar in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the oil and stir in the chopped dill. Serve with the gravlax.

Salmon Gravlax Tartare on Crisp Potato Slices image

Provided by Serena Bass

Yield Makes about 40 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 18

The Gravlax Cure
1 tablespoon juniper berries, chopped
2 teaspoons dried dill
3 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons kosher salt (if you only have table salt, 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon would be the correct equivalent)
The Tartare
5 ounces center-cut fresh salmon, skinned, pin-boned, and cut into tiny dice
2 tablespoons Gravlax Cure
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon snipped chives
1/8 teaspoon grated orange zest
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch dill, minced, for decoration
The Crisp Potato Slices
10 small round potatoes (red or white), cut into 1/8-inch circular slices (discarding rounded ends)
1/2 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

For the Gravlax Cure:
Mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl. You can make the cure in advance and it will keep, stored in an airtight jar out of the sunlight, for up to 6 months.
For the Tartare:
In a medium bowl, mix the salmon with 2 tablespoons of the Gravlax Cure and then add the olive oil, snipped chives, orange zest, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6 hours. Serve topped with a scattering of freshly minced dill on a Crisp Potato Slice or an English cucumber slice.
Strew some more minced dill on the plate or tray that you're using to pass the hors d'oeuvres - then the Crisp Potato Slices won't skid around and the cucumber will be easier to pick up.
For The Crisp Potato Slices:
Position a rack in the top third of the oven and preheat to 350°F.
Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet; brush each slice with oil, then turn them and brush the other side. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake for 10 minutes, then turn slices and bake for another 5 minutes. Remove all crisp slices with a spatula and continue cooking any slices that look like they need more time. Cool on a rack, then use immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
