Just ate about a pound of it...it's like proscuitto, only with a bit of very, very good salmon flavor...I will be making a lot more of this in the future.

Fish on...

Should the fish be frozen before making Gravlax?
I've seen a few recipes that suggest freezing the fish for a week to kill any possible parasites.
Thanks for your input on this.

Don't know if it has to be if the fish came from saltwater, but mine was...

Fish on...

Todd

P.S. Chuck..."cooked" is a term that includes a lot more than "adding heat"...and stuff cooked with vinegar or booze (pickled) or dehydrated, or smoked, is every bit as cooked...and often times more "cooked"...than rare or medium rare meat from a restaurant.

"Raw" or "uncooked" is taking off the animal and eating it.

My fish came out of the salt yesterday, but I'm going to freeze it for a week or so just to be safe.
I've got a super simple Gravlax recipe my friend uses that I'm going to try first.

I do believe that salmon (even a salt fish) are supposed to be frozen if they are not cooked going to be cooked with heat.

Caught a nice 10lb GH silver yesterday that will get this treatment. The filets turned out perfect. She's in the freezer today, so I'll start her on this process when I get back on Thursday.

Does anyone give them a light smoke (1-2 hours), and do they hold up well frozen, like smoked salmon does?

First batch started after the filet being frozen for a week. Only used one beet finely grated. It covered it completely.

Done!

What it looked like after I removed the weighted pan above it.


Opposite side.


After the crap was removed.


Nom, nom, nom.


Sauce is similar to Jamie Oliver's, but changed slightly based on what I had on hand. Good eats!

Not sure if it is true, but I've always read not to make gravlax in a metal container. I'm not sure if the problem is related to it picking up a metallic taste or if it has to do with the curing?

Those beets certainly make it look a little wild!

Neither the "juice" nor the salmon came in contact with the pan until I unwrapped it. The first picture kind of shows that. I also don't wet or dry cure meat in metal containers because of some metals being a "reactive container," even though stainless steel isn't supposed to be reactive. Never tried curing meat in stainless, but I know aluminum is a big NO. There was no metalic taste at all.

I do need to adjust the salt down a little bit, and maybe up the sugar. Possibly shorten the curing time to 36 hours.

Bernie, it tastes pretty good. Kind of like lox, but a firmer texture.
