Cured Pastrami Salmon recipe
Many thanks to Louise at Cygnet Kitchen for this exciting, cured Pastrami Salmon recipe that is perfect for Christmas and New Year parties. Preparation time is 3 days before serving.
Serves 8
Ingredients
1.5 kg side of very fresh salmon (see notes)
500g coarse sea salt
200g light brown muscovado sugar
4 tablespoons coriander seeds
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 tablespoons caraway seeds
2 tablespoons black peppercorns
2 bay leaf
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons sweet smoked paprika
4 tablespoons black treacle
To serve
Cream cheese, Mamoosh pittas, chopped fresh dill and dill pickles.
Notes
The salmon must be of excellent quality and extremely fresh for this recipe. It is best purchased from a good fishmonger. If curing a smaller side of salmon (around 800g), reduce the quantity of cure ingredients by half. You will need to start the recipe 3 days before you wish to serve it. The cured salmon will keep for a week in the fridge. Alternatively, cut into slices, wrap in clingfilm and freeze for up to a month. Defrost in the fridge before eating within 2 days.
Method
- Preparation (3 days before serving):
Place the salmon skin-side down in a rimmed dish.
Mix the salt and sugar in a separate bowl.
- Prepare the spice mixture (3 days before serving):
Toast coriander seeds, ground coriander, caraway seeds, and peppercorns in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes.
Grind the cooled toasted spices with bay leaves in a food processor until fine. Combine the ground spices with the salt-sugar mixture.
Place the salmon in a large non-metallic dish or plastic tray with a lipped edge. Coat the salmon thoroughly with the spiced salt mixture, packing it around the flesh. Wrap the dish tightly in plastic wrap.
Place a board on top of the salmon and put something heavy on top like a few cans. Refrigerate for 48 hours.
- Treacle glaze (1 day before serving):
Heat paprika, cayenne, and black treacle in a small pan until liquid, then cool slightly so that it is just warm.
Rinse the salt off the salmon with cold water and pat dry thoroughly. Brush the salmon generously with the warm treacle mixture.
Rewrap in fresh plastic wrap and refrigerate for another 24 hours.
- Serving:
Place the salmon on board and thinly slice using a sharp knife, avoiding the skin.
Serve with cream cheese, chopped fresh dill, dill pickles and plenty of warm Mamoosh pittas.
Wishing you all a very happy and healthy Christmas!
