This is by far the best recipe for Gravlax on KZread [Boy are there some shockers out there ], I've worked in catering for 40+ years, this guy knows what he's talking about, especially follow his advice in NOT using Cooking salt, use coarse salt.

Superb! Had the Gravlax on your Borodinsky bread! What a treat. Most grateful for your sharing.

That looks absolutely sublime! Will definitely try it. Your channel is amazing and so unique - keep up the great work & that amazing sense of humour :)

This came out perfectly. Everyone doubted me yesterday, but today no one had said anything (too busy eating it on Borodinsky bread 😉)

I tried this recipe, and it came out really good!! So simple too. Thank you!

Amazing recipe 😁

Great video, looks amazing pal 👍

Oh I have to try your method.

I never taught to use the liquid good idea

Thank you very much!

You are absolutely amazing! Hopefully you get your million subscribers soon. ❤ Молодец!

@@PantsDownApronsOn It came out so well! It's a bit saltier, but I think it's because my cut wasn't as thick as yours. Had it on homemade bread w/cream cheese and it tasted great!

You forgot to add dill while curing the Lax? Dill is a very important ingredient during curing process .

I’ve seen many different recipes and each is different. This is his version. Might taste good 😊

Recipe is on point, thumbnails are good, the editing is a bit wacky but unique style. Keep at it man, should work out

When you freeze it, are you thawing it out before you slice it?

@PantsDownApronsOn

If you got a slicer slice it semi frozen. Otherwise I thaw it out in the fridge then slice with a blunt knife and stuff my face

only 24 hours? I've never tried less than three days. I'll have to try that. Oh Single malt scoth or small barrel bourbon is a great addition and I like to use liquid smoke. All the smokiness and none of the heat.

Liquid smoke is extremely cancerogenous.

Do you freeze it before curing it or literally do you buy it fresh, cute it and eat it? Also is 20 hours good to cure it instead of 24 hours ?

I do yes. Blast freezing or salting kills some but not all of the bad stuff you can find in fish. Only cooking to bine dry does that, but no way I’m eating salmon cooked to oblivion. Buy good quality salmon to lower the risk of parasites and worms. Then risk it for a biscuit like we do with all things everyday anyway. Judge the cure time by thickness of the salmon and also by how salty you like it. If thick go longer even to 36h if you like salty. If you have a fillet coming from a 5-6 kg salmon salting for 18-20 hours is in the golden zone for most peoples taste I find. However, experiment until you find the sweet spot for your taste. Most of my clients actually like it salted very little. We pull it after 8 -10 hours most of the time. Personally I like a 20 hour one.

@@PantsDownApronsOn thanks for quick response…so for clarification do you blast freeze or normal freeze prior to eating? I get that you don’t cook it of course but wasn’t clear if you did the freeze or not. Thanks!

@Menchman don’t freeze because I can get top quality salmon but if you are worried best to freeze it for a day then salt. Still not 100% guaranteed but does help.

if you start with fresh wild salmon and never freeze it before you eat it, can't you get sick from any possible parasites in the fish? since curing does not kill the parasites

Never happened to me that I realised, but they do say you can get a bit a tummy cramp or two… but I’m not a doctor so rather play it safe like we do in the industry and freeze it for 12 hours first. Promise you won’t have bad quality cured salmon.

How do you make your fish souce?

Will be making a video on it but you need whole small fish, koji or other enzyme rich product like pineapple or kiwi, salt and time

Stupid question- when you say "cure it for 24 hours" do you put it in the fridge?

I do! And so should you. Or at least on your balcony if you live somewhere cold.

Is the salt to sugar ratio 50 50?

cool мой вопрос слегка технического характера: я делаю очень похоже ,но не использую цедру, а использую непосредственно сок высококлассных апельсинов немного. помещаю рыбу в гастроемкость и переворачиваю через 6 часов на другие 6 часов. рыба выделяет много влаги но я делаю пробу на вкус еще до засола, пытаясь вывести необходимый уровень сахара сладости апельсина с морской солью грубого помола и специями, в итоге процесс больше напоминает ферментацию. как итог : славный вкус, чуть более плотная текстура поверху. я не удаляю чешую как ты и тут вопрос а нужно ли? филируя рыбу ты жене режешь шкуру-так зачем? я хочу понять логику шефа

@PantsDownApronsOn

Уважаемый Пабло, есть две причины, по которым я не убираю чешую. Первая: чешуя препятствует равномерному засолу рыбы, поскольку соль со стороны чешуи плохо проходит в тушку. Вторая причина: чешуя для меня - это как перья на курице, которые не удалили. Вторая причина более эстетическая. В момент нарезки рыбы она будет прилипать к доске, ножу и везде вокруг. Цедру (а не соль )я использую, поскольку при засолке рыбы у меня стоит задача избавится от лишней жидкости, а не добавлять ее в виде сока. Но, наверно тоже вкусно уверен.

So we dont have to smoke it?
