Salt Cure For Fish

• 3 cups kosher salt
• 1 cup white granulated sugar
• Rind from 3 whole citrus fruits (must use lemon; if you have orange, tangerine, lime or any other citrus, by all means use those too)

1. Combine salt and sugar in a bowl and mix together
2. Wash/scrub skin of each citrus fruit and towel dry
3. Microplane citrus rind from each fruit
4. Mix citrus rind into salt/sugar thoroughly (salt/sugar mixture should start to take on the color of the citrus rind)
5. Lay one sheet of saran wrap horizontally and one vertically on the counter
6. Spread 1/3 of salt mixture in middle of saran as a base for fish (should be in shape of fish and slightly bigger than the fish)
7. Rinse fish and dry thoroughly
8. Place fish on salt mixture base
9. Cover fish with remaining salt mixture and pack tightly
10. Wrap fish/salt mixture in saran wrap and place in ziploc bag
11. Put fish in refrigerator for required time (based on fish cure recipe)
12. When done curing, unwrap fish and rinse under cold water.
13. Towel dry (you want to get rid of all moisture) and wrap tightly in saran wrap, then in a ziploc bag. Put back in the refrigerator until ready to use.
