Cured Salmon
- 1 pack Sashimi grade salmon
- 1 Salt
- 200 ml Vinegar
- 60 grams Sugar
- 1 tbsp Salt
- Sprinkle salt on the tray the salmon came in.
- No need to dirty a dish - cut down on washing!
- Put the salmon on top of the salt, and sprinkle a generous amount of salt on it.
- This is called 'shaken salt' (furi-shio).
- If you add enough salt to turn the surface white it's called 'coating salt' (beta-jio).
- This time we just need 'shaken salt', so don't add too much salt that the salmon turns white.
- Leave the salmon for 6 hours or so in the refrigerator.
- In the meantime, combine the ingredients to make the sweet pickling vinegar.
- Pat the salmon dry with paper towels.
- Marinate the salmon in the sweet vinegar for about 15 minutes.
- Turn it over when it starts to turn pale, but if you leave it in for too long it will lose flavor.
- Slice thinly, and it's done!
- Use a natural salt of your choice.
- I use this 'Seafarer's Usu-shio'.
- It's packed with minerals and is really tasty, and goes especially well with seafood.
- The little pottery jar it comes is in cute too.
