- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cracked white peppercorns
- 2 to3 pounds fresh salmon filets (preferably center piece, skin on)
- 3 bunches fresh dill

- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- Salt
- Pepper
- 3/4 cup salad oil
- 1/4 cup chopped dill
- Mix salt, sugar and white peppercorns.
- Take a handful and rub it on both sides of the salmon.
- Place the salmon in a dish and sprinkle the rest of the mix on top.
- Cover the salmon with dill and let it stand for six hours at room temperature.
- Put in the refrigerator for 24 to 30 hours, depending on how thick the salmon is.
- To serve:
- Slice the salmon off the skin in thin slices, and place them on a platter.
- Cut the skin in pieces, approximately 1/2-inch wide, and blacken the skins in a very hot cast iron skillet.
- Decorate the platter with lemon, dill and skin.
- Mix the mustards, sugar and vinegar and season with pinches of salt and pepper.
- Mix in the oil while you pour it in a steady stream.
- When the sauce has a mayonnaise-like consistency, stir in the chopped dill.
