Christmas Gravlax with Dill, Treacle & Cumin

Name: Christmas Gravlax with Dill, Treacle & Cumin
Cuisine: European, British
Ingredients: 2 middle-cut fillets of salmon,about 1kg each, pin bones removed; 100g sea salt flakes; 100g caster sugar; 1 tbsp crushed white peppercorns; large bunch of fresh dill, finely chopped; 2 tbsp treacle; 2 tbsp ground cumin; extra sea salt flakes

Instructions

This is a wonderful version of the traditional Swedish gravlax. It is raw salmon cured with salt, sugar and dill in the traditional way, but we also use cumin and treacle in the mix. This gives it a sensational flavour that we think makes it extra Christmassy. Serve with a green salad and traditional dill sauce or simply with a squeeze of lemon. Just the job for Christmas dinner.
