Marinated Salmon with Dill

This unusual salmon dish requires freezing, but is a very tasty way to serve the tailpiece.

Recipe Information:

Serves:	Salmon Portion	Course	Cooking Method	Preparation Time:
6	Fresh Salmon, Tailpiece	Starter, Main	Uncooked	Over 1 hour

Ingredients:

500g tailpiece salmon
15ml spoon light brown soft sugar
5ml spoon sea-salt
12 black peppercorns, crushed
handful of dill, chopped

Method:

Cut the salmon in half lengthways; remove the bones.

Mix together the remaining ingredients and rub a third into the skin of one piece of salmon. Place skin side down on a large piece of foil and rub another third over the flesh. Place the other piece of salmon on top, flesh side down; rub the remaining mixture into the skin.

To freeze: Wrap in the foil, seal, label and freeze.

To thaw: Remove from the freezer 3 days before needed, weight down and leave in the refrigerator, turning once a day.

To serve: Drain off all the liquid and cut the salmon into thin slices. Serve with rye bread and a little creamy mustard dressing, if you wish.
