  • ” Love this recipe.I put all the ingredients in a zip lock bag, surrounded the fish with onions and the brine and flipped the bag everytime I opened the fridge. The paler picture shows the salmon just as I was putting it into the brine the darker one on the plate shows the cured salmon.This was part of my fish course on my Christmas Eve Smorgaasbord. ( I also served Herring titbits, anchovies and Herring cured in wine) I was a little slow in getting it started only 4 days before serving it but it still had wonderfujl flavor.The left overs went back into the brine until New YearsThanks Derf – great recipe”
