Gej, Ami is right. Gravlax is different from smoked salmon. Gravlax goes through a pickling process instead of a smoking one. The use of dill and sugar also imparts a quite different sweetish flavour.

Thanks MM. I’ve been making graved lax for 30 years, with a very similar recipe. Try it with a few drops of balsamico glaze.

Clarissa: I am also pretty crazy about that stuff. But it is not really raw fish like sushi, because it is actually cured in salt and sugar. Both these ingredients cure raw food and make it last longer.

My friend gave me a salmon cookbook and once I started doing this, I couldn’t stop. It’s so easy, and cheap! But I just buy frozen salmon from the supermarket and defrost it myself. I tried using smoked salt initally (I did the smoking myself, I almost choked doing it), but I just use regular salt now. I still miss the smokey taste, so I have been hunting for the liquid smoke flavoring.

I only use dried dill, aside from the salt and sugar. I like it. It imparts a “cleaner and fresher” taste to the whole thing.

I alone end up eating what I make, so a good kilo will last me 2 weeks since I have gone to eating it as a snack :P My family thinks I’m too crazy over the uncooked salmon! I’m linking below what I made.

Wonderful! MM what else is done to make this smoked salmon? Or is smoked salmon a totally different dish?

Hi bettyq! I e-mailed you a few days ago. But in your old address which you might not be using anymore. Did you receive it? How can I get your new e-mail add kaya?

Jessi, be careful, this recipe does NOT work with all fish, and is best suited to oily fish. Perhaps the only local fish or two that this might work with are tuna and tangigue… juniper berries might be available at Flavours n spices at Market!Market! Mall… You can omit juniper berries if you can’t find them. But you must use lots of fresh dill.

Been wanting to do something like this – will try it with local fish. May I know where can I get the juniper berries? Thank you very much!

Toasted montreal bagel, smothered with cream cheese and topped with gravlax then wash it down with a chilled merlot or any sparkling wine – to die for.
