    Gravlax (marinated salmon), This is the traditional Swedish gravlax recipe Nowadays lots of varieties have evolved, but this is the original It is traditionally served with the mustard sauce (‘Gravlaxsas’) and lemon I recommend a German or Californian dry or semi-dry white wine to this Because of the simplicity of the recipe, the salmon has to be of the best quality and freshness available , This was really really really good even my husband, who doesn’t really like salmon too much said I can prepare it this way in future I only marinaded it for 36 hours, but even so, it was phenomenally good Thank you for the recipe!, Turned out perfect!Thanks Linda
