The traditional Swedish gravlax recipe from SWMBO's side of the family:

Prep fish:
Starting at noon, behead and gut a salmon. Make two filets, skin on. Wash in vinegar. Rub with salt and peppercorns.

Cure fish:
Place in cold store under decreasing pressure for 18 hours. Lay each fish skin down under a board. Put a six pack of beer on each board. Drink one beer from each fish per hour. When you're our of beer, flip fish and repeat. Again, when you're out of beer, flip and repeat.

Eat breakfast:
Slice fish into thin strips. Place thinly sliced red onion on top. Garnish with dill. Serve with beer.

Thanks!. (smile)
