Citrus Cured Salmon
- 2 pounds Salmon, Boneless And Skinless
- 4 cups Kosher Salt
- 2 cups Sugar
- 3 whole Lemons
- 3 whole Limes
- 2 whole Oranges
- 1 Tablespoon Ground Coriander
- 1 Tablespoon White Peppercorns
- With a grater, remove the zest of the citrus fruit.
- Mix the grated zest and coriander with the salt and sugar in a non-reactive dish, like Pyrex.
- The more snugly it all fits into the dish with the salmon, the better.
- In a hot, dry pan, toast the white peppercorns until they exude their aroma, about 3 minutes.
- Put them on the counter or a cutting board, and using another heavy-bottomed pan, crush the toasted peppercorns.
- You could also use a mortar and pestle.
- Then add the cracked peppercorns to the salt mixture.
- Thoroughly mix all of these ingredients, then bury the salmon in this sandy mixture.
- Cover the dish in plastic, place a weight on top, and store in the refrigerator for 48 hours to cure.
- After two days, remove the salmon from the curing mixture, rinse with water and pat dry.
- Slice it thinly and serve!
