Total Time 5 mins

Ingredients
  

  • Fresh fillet of salmon cleaned and patted dry
  • 1 Tbs. White sugar
  • 1 Tbs. Coarse salt-rock salt
  • 1 Tbs. whole peppercorns
  • Handful of fresh dill chopped

Instructions
 

  • Crush peppercorns. Place them on a cutting board and crush with a pot or the side of a knife(pot works better for me).

Rub

  • Combine sugar, coarse salt, crushed pepper, paprika and dill in a bowl. Place fish in a glass dish and massage with rub. Cover and refrigerate for a day and a half to three days before slicing.

To serve:

  • Scrape off the majority of the rub from the top of fish. Place on a cutting board. With a sharp knife, thinly slice and arrange on a plate. Garnish with fresh dill, lemon wedges, and crackers.
