Homemade smoked salmon

When you buy smoked salmon surly you don't ask to yourself how it is made. For to do it you only have to mix sugar and smoked or normal salt, cover with this the salmon an wait for 12-24 hours depending of the salmon size.







Ingredients:

A piece of salmon
300gr of salt (normal or smoked)
300gr of sugar


It is very easy. You only have to mix the salt and the sugar. Tan sencillo como mezclar el azĂșcar y la sal. LIf your piece of salmon is big, use more salt and sugar. And if you want it more delicate, put more sugar than salt.

Now put the half of the mix sugar and salt in the base of a container. Put your salmon piece on it and cover it with the rest of the mix.

Depending of the salmon size you have to put it in the fridge for 12 or 24 hours. sIf your piece is a portion one, then you probably keep in fridge 12 hours. But if you have a big salmon, then 24 hours.

When the salmon is "cooked", the salt works like the fire it dehydrate the meat, remove the salt and put it under cold water for remove all the salt. Dry the salmon and keep under oil.
