Danish Cured Salmon

Ingredients:

2 lbs fresh salmon fillet
1/2 cup chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp ground white pepper
1/4 tsp ground allspice

Rinse the salmon and dry it thoroughly with paper towels. Place in a glass baking dish and sprinkle with half the dill.

Combine the remaining ingredients in a small bowl and stir to combine. Sprinkle half the mixture over the salmon. Turn the salmon over, sprinkle with the remaining salt mixture, and top with the remaining dill.

Cover with plastic wrap and place a large plate over the top.

Place several cans of food on top for weight (e.g., string beans). Refrigerate for 24 to 48 hours.

To serve, drain the salmon and cut diagonally into thin slices.

Serves 12 depending on appetite.
