directions

Step 1

For the Gravlax, crush the dill with coarse salt and add the brown sugar.

Step 2

Season the salmon fillets with crushed Szechuan peppercorns. Cover with the dill mixture and splash with Vodka. Sandwich the fillets together, tail-to-tail, and cover with plastic wrap. Cover the salmon with another plate and something that weighs about a pound. Refrigerate for 24 hours.

Step 3

After that time, the flesh will have lost its translucence. Rinse under cold water and path dry.

Step 4

For the sauce, combine the mustard, brown sugar and lemon juice. Slowly whisk in the olive oil and stir in the chopped dill and grated horseradish

Step 5

Slice the Gravlax thinly on the bias and without the skin. Serve with crackers and the mustard sauce.
