Diy Gravlax With A Whole Grain Mustard Sauce

There are so many “quintessential” things that most people find super intimidating to make in the kitchen themselves, until they’ve tried it one time. I think this goes true for things like gnocchi, bread, ravioli, and what we’ve made for today, gravlax, or cured salmon. The main, distinct difference between gravlax and smoked salmon is that smoked salmon is cold smoked and gravlax is only cured, traditionally with lots of dill.

Making gravlax is one of those DIY cooking projects that people find intimidating, but really it’s one of the easiest and most affordable things to make yourself! Seriously. When I learned how easy it was, I freaked! You can play around with different cure ratios and flavors, but we’ve kept our version today pretty simple and to the point. I love how the lemon zest and dill almost ‘perfume’ the salmon during the curing process.

Depending on how strong of a cure you want on your salmon, you can cure the fillets for 2 to 3 days. A salmon with the 2 day cure will not have quite a strong of a briny flavor, and it will still have a pretty soft flesh, while the 3 day cure will have a stronger flavor as well as firmer texture overall. Once you make your own gravlax and see how simple and delicious it really is, you’ll rarely want to buy it from the market again…seriously. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup whole grain mustard
  • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 ½ tablespoons champagne vinegar

  • 2 teaspoons crushed fennel seeds
  • 1 teaspoon crushed black peppercorns
  • zest of 1 lemon
