Make a marinate to cure your salmon at home.
Prep Time 2 days
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 2 days
Servings 16

Ingredients

  • One 2-pound salmon fillet
  • 1/2 cup dill
  • 2 cups kosher salt
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cups vodka
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients.
  • Drop the fish into the bowl and massage the cure mixture into the fish.
  • Wrap the salmon using your FoodSaver vacuum sealer (I poured the liquid in the bag as well). Place in refrigerator for at least 48 hours (Put something heavy on the salmon to press in the cure).
  • Turn the bag over a few times during the 48 hour curing process.
  • Cut the bag open, remove the salmon and rinse the cure off under cold, running water.
  • Pat dry and slice diagonally into paper-thin slices.
  • Serve and enjoy!
