Instead of dill, this recipe uses what most people would consider "scrap" -- fennel fronds, as a refreshing (and wallet pleasing) spin. —danti

Ingredients
  • 1 pound salmon
  • 4 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
  • 1 bunch fennel frond, chopped
  • cilantro (for garnish)
Directions
  1. Combine salt, pepper, lemon zest and chopped cilantro.
  2. Rub both sides of the fillet liberally with the curing mixture, and seal tight with plastic wrap. Topping it with a weight would help.
  3. Cure the fillet in the fridge overnight. (For a firmer texture, flip the salmon and continue to cure for up to 3 days.)
  4. Right before serving, rinse off the curing mixture. Slice and enjoy.
