Recipe: Home cured Gravadlax





The flavours in cured Gravadlax are an ideal match for any Alsace white wine and this is an easy recipe which will certainly add a little bit of sophistication should you want to impress your friends with your newly acquired curing skills. It’s also very easy because you can make it a couple of days in advance and leave it in the fridge, forget about it and carve just before the party starts.

Did you know: Gravadlax was perpetually made during the Middle Ages when fishermen would salt salmon and then lightly ferment it by burying it in the sand above high tide. The dish takes its name from the Scandinavian word grav, which means ‘grave’, and lax, which means salmon.

Home cured Gravadlax

Ingredients

Two large fillets of fresh Salmon (skin on)

150g Sea Salt

150g Caster Sugar

30g Coriander Seeds

50g black peppercorns

200g finely chopped Dill

Method

Blitz the salt, sugar, coriander seeds and peppercorns together, leaving the dill aside.

Pack the mix on the flesh side of the Salmon and then the fresh dill on top.

Place the two pieces together, to make a sort of large sandwich, and pack any leftover mix on the skin side.

Wrap tightly in cling film and leave in the fridge for 48 hours.

To serve slice finely and place on a plate with cucumber salad and soda bread – you can buy the mustard and dill sauce that usually accompanies it from any good supermarket.

Recipe: Salmon with Pine Nut and Parmesan crust

 An unusual match, however Jon loves salmon and even more so Pinot Noir. He says this is an absolute winner with the lovely vibrant cherry and strawberry fruit character of the Errázuriz Pinot Noir 2010 really working well with the slightly richer than normal salmon. You wouldn't normally think of matching it with salmon, but it works, it really works! We all know that anything with a breadcrumb and parmesan crust works as well and Jon suggests new potatoes as the accompaniment...you may want to be a bit more creative (sorry Jon)...

Recipe: Smoked trout with horseradish dressing

 We know what you're thinking - Trout and horseradish? Trust us it is a match made in heaven with the piquant horseradish dressing working beautifully with the rich smoked trout.  We've paired this dish with Kleine Zalze Bush Vines Chenin Blanc a tropical-fruit flavoured Chenin Blanc that is supple and seductive and has picked up a couple of Silvers in international competitions. It is not overtly fruity but it is a great glass of South African white from a grape variety that is often forgotten about.
