Preparation steps
Chop the dill coarsely.
On the foil, place 1/3 of the dill, then the salmon skin side down.
Sprinkle with the salt-sugar mixture and the remaining dill.
Wrap tightly in foil and place a weight on top.
We cure in the fridge for 48-72 hours, turning every 12 hours.
Prepare the sauce: mustard, lemon, olive oil, chopped dill.
We scrape the salmon from the marinade and cut it diagonally into thin slices.
Fun Fact
Gravlax has its roots in Scandinavian tradition, where fishermen cured salmon to preserve it for longer.

Tips
Serve gravlax on a wooden cutting board, garnished with fresh dill. It pairs perfectly with dark bread and mustard-dill sauce. Serve at room temperature with lemon cut into wedges.
Store leftover gravlax in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the slices, but it's best to consume them within a month. Reheating is not recommended; it's best eaten cold.
