Cured Salmon
MAKE IT SHINE!
ADD YOUR PHOTO
This fish can be used in the similar manner as smoked salmon. The fish must be extremely fresh. Ocean trout can be substituted. You need to plan ahead - 3 days of curing is needed. This is always part of my families Christmas lunch which I usually serve with cucumber salad and sour cream. Also goes well with scrambled eggs for a decadent breakfast.
