(Salmon, Scandinavian style - Traditional recipe)

Time: preparation: 20 minutes ........ plus marinating time ........ cooking: raw dish 600 g (1 1/3 lb) salmon fillets Table salt Sugar Black pepper grains Dill leaves easy recipe

  Spoon measures are American spoons, that is standard cook's measuring spoons used in USA.
  The best plan is to regard 2 American teaspoons or tablespoons as 1 English teaspoon or tablespoon (eating spoons)

It's a tasty dish with low fat if you don't consider the butter with which you can serve it. Remove the skin and bones from the salmon fillets. Mix the sugar and table salt in equal parties and rub the surface of the fish with this mixture so that the salmon can absorb most of it. Arrange the salmon fillets on a serving dish and put in the fridge. Let the fish marinate for 5 days, turning over the fillets more times a day and substituting the dill leaves when they are damaged.
At this point you can cut the salmon fillets into thin slices and serve them with butter and rye bread.
