A festive classic, curing your own salmon is well worth it for taste, satisfaction and wow-factor. This version uses beetroot and berries to give it a stunning pink-purple hue and slightly sweet flavour. 

Ingredients

800-1kg side of salmon, pin-boned and scaled

for the cure

90g brown sugar

125g sea salt

80g blackberries or elderberries

2 raw beetroots, peeled and chopped

3 juniper berries, crushed

4 tbsp gin

for the herb coating

1 bunch of dill, finely chopped

6 white peppercorns, crushed

1 tbsp freshly grated horseradish

2 tbsp gin

Method

  1. In a food processor, combine the ingredients for the beetroot and berry cure. Unravel some cling film but keep it attached to the roll. Spoon a bit of the cure on the cling film then lay the salmon, skin-side down, on top and pack the rest of cure over the flesh. Roll the fish tightly in cling film to create a package. Place the package in a shallow baking dish or shallow-sided tray and lay another tray on top. Weigh the tray down with a couple a tins and place in the fridge for two days, turning the salmon over occasionally.

  2. On the second day, remove the salmon from its wrapping and scrape off any excess cure. Gently rinse the remaining cure off the salmon and pat dry with kitchen towel. In a bowl, combine the chopped dill with the peppercorns, horseradish and gin. Prepare another piece of cling film for the salmon and cover all over with the herb mix. Wrap the salmon up again as before. Place in the baking tray, weigh it down and leave, for at least another eight hours. Remove the salmon from its wrapping and transfer to a board. Finely slice and serve with sourdough crackers and pickles. Will keep in the fridge for two-three days.
