RECIPES
Marinated Salmon with Lemon and Dill
Ingredients
-
400 grams of fresh salmon
-
200 grams of salt
-
200 grams of Sugar (1 cup)
-
2 pieces of Lemon
-
½ cup of Dill chopped
-

We are going to start our recipe by mixing the sugar with the salt and pepper in a small bowl. Mix perfectly until these ingredients are well integrated.
Now we season the salmon completely with this mixture and also add the chopped dill. We let rest with this marinade for at least 12 hours, covering the fish with aluminum foil and inside the fridge.
Once this marinating time has passed, we remove it from the refrigerator and wash our marinated salmon well, trying to completely remove the mixture.
Then, with the help of absorbent paper, we dry it carefully.
Now, we cut the fish into thin strips for decoration and presentation of the dish. When we have it, we place it on the plate and add a few drops of olive oil and lemon juice.
You can make any type of cut you prefer, either in squares or thin slices if you want to present it as a salmon carpaccio.
Sprinkle a little more spices on top and we can serve.
