Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb lb salmon fillet
  • ¼ cup smoked sea salt (or any Kosher salt)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (or white sugar if you don't have brown sugar (skip for keto lox))
  • Optional: A pinch of freshly ground black pepper or dried herbs such as dill or parsley

Instruction

  • Rinse the salmon and pat it dry with a paper towel. If it has skin, leave the skin on. If you feel any bones in the salmon while you are doing this, remove them - tweezers are useful for this.
  • Combine the salt and sugar (and pepper and herbs, if using), and rub the seasoning all over the salmon. You might have some extra seasoning that you haven't used up - if so, just place it on top of the salmon.  
  • Get a large piece of plastic wrap. Place the salmon skin-side down. Wrap the salmon tightly with plastic wrap and place it in a container that has a lid. Cover with a lid and place in the fridge. 
  • After 2-3 days, rinse the whole salmon under cold water. Thinly slice the salmon. Serve immediately, or transfer to a clean container, cover, and store refrigerated until serving.
