WHAT IS CURING?

It’s nothing more than salt, sugar and some extra seasoning or combination. Therefore, It is preservation and subjected to a fermentation process. The curing process dehydrates the fish, removing the liquid and killing all bacteria that may cause spoilage.

INGREDIENTS

½ cup  Salt
20 g lemon zest
30 g orange zest
30 g lime Zest
1 medium beetroot
400 g salmon
200 g guacamole




METHOD OF COOKING
Step 1

Most importantly, don’t use farm-raised salmon instead go for Alaskan wild salmon instead. However, the fish will hold up for 4 or 5 days in the fridge once it’s cured. Place salt, lemon, lime, orange zest and beetroot finely grated, in a medium-size bowl and mix until the mixture is well combined.

Step 2

Lay the salmon down and rub the mixture into all sides by covering all the salmon, wrap tightly in plastic and place in a food container. Transfer the covered salmon container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 hours to cure.

Step 3

Remove the container from the refrigerator and unwrap the plastic, drain off all the liquid. Scrape off the layer of the salt mixture from the top of the salmon. Finally, the salmon is cured, rinse well under cold water and pat dry then set aside. Salmon can be cured 3 days ahead which will add more aromatics and flavorful.
