Citrus And Vodka Cured Salmon

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the salt, dill, zest's, vodka and sugar together. Place the salmon, skin-side down, on several large sheets of plastic wrap. Cover the entire salmon with the curing mix, packing the cure into the salmon. Wrap the salmon completely and tightly in the plastic wrap and place the salmon, skin-side down on a half sheet pan. Place something heavy, like a skillet, weights or possibly a brick (that needs to be wrapped in plastic wrap) on top of the wrapped salmon. This will help infuse the salmon into the mix. Chill the salmon for 24 hrs.
2. Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and wipe off the salt mix. Rinse the salmon under cool water, removing all of the cure. Using a sharp knife, slice the salmon diagonally, paper thin and set aside.
3. This recipe yields 8 servings.
