      Gravlax,A standard on our holiday table, either Christmas Eve or New Year’s Eve. You don’t have to buy smoked salmon – you can make your own gravlax. This version is very delicious. Count on refrigerating the gravlax with the spices and dill for 3-4 days before serving. Of Scandinavian origin.,very nice used dried dill weed gave me a chance to use morter and pesel i follewed peters idea of prep turned out very well zaar tour 6,First time I’ve made Gravlax and loved this, so much nicer than store-bought! used brandy and left for around 24 hours using the stated preparation method but then transferred to two vacuum sealed Food Saver bags and left another 3 days giving them the odd squeeze to move the brine around. That worked really well and saved removing the plastic wrap to baste each time.
