The base of this recipe is a very fine classic. One that you can easily prepare, as it needs a few days to reach its full potential. The gin gives a nice kick to the salmon. This dish is wonderfully convenient if you have a large family. You can present it nice and easy going this way, on a platter where everyone can serve themselves. Or as an appetizer for the gourmet. But also nicely served on a pretty plate as a fancy appetizer. Then serve it with tufts of creme fraiche with dill and lime and some gray shrimp on the side.
1 salmon side of at least 1 kilogram
2 lemons
1 lime
30 gr coconut blossom sugar
100 grams of coarse sea salt
large bunch of fresh dill
75 ml of gin
2 large red beets (cooked)
Grate the beets. Chop the dill. Wash the lemon and lime and grate them so that you are left with the zest of both citrus fruits. Squeeze half of the lime and half of the lemon.
Add the beets, lemon, lime, sugar and gin together, stir well and pour over the salmon that you have placed in a baking dish.
Then top with the dill and sea salt.
After this you put cling film over the salmon and on this you put something heavy, which can be a plate, board, shelf that is the right size. I put cans of beans on it. Then put this in the refrigerator for about 3 days, could be 2.
When you want to start preparing it, you wipe off all the spices and see that the salmon has turned a beautiful red color! Now you get to taste it... :-)) Don't forget to show that beautiful big salmon that has been marinating for days in its entirety to your guests! Nice!
If you like, serve with some rye bread, some crudité, sauce of crème fraîche, Dutch shrimp, salmon roe, capers and toasts.
