GRAVALAX (MARINATED TROUT)
Can be kept in freezer for up to 2 months. Will keep in fridge sliced and in cling film for up to 2 weeks. Although this recipe is for 2lb fish it is especially good for larger trout, but increase ingredients accordingly.
Ingredients:
FOR
THE FISH
: 2 oz Course Sea Salt 2oz Caster sugar 2 tablespoons of white Peppercorns, crushed.
FOR THE SAUCE: 4 tablespoons Dark Strong Mustard 1 teaspoon Dry Mustard 1 ½ oz Caster Sugar 2 tablespoons White Wine Vinegar 6 tablespoons Oil 3 tablespoons Fresh Chopped Dill.
Instructions Remove head and tail from Trout, cut fish in half lengthways and remove backbone, using tweezers remove any small bones. Place one half skin-side down in a deep baking dish. Sprinkle first with chopped dill, then a mixture of the salt, sugar, and peppercorns. Top with the other half [skin-side out]
Cover the fish with foil and place a heavy dish in it slightly larger than the trout. Weigh down with 3 or 4 tins of food, refrigerate for 48 hours.
Turn the fish over every 12 hours, basting with the marinade which accumulates. Separate the halves to baste inside. Replace dish and weights every time [ready after 48 hours]
Remove the fish from marinade and scrape away the dill and seasonings. Pat dry with kitchen paper. Place halves, skin-side down and slice thinly on the diagonal.
To make the sauce, mix the mustards, sugar and vinegar to a paste. Slowly beat in the oil until thick and smooth, stir in the chopped dill and keep refrigerated.
