This five ingredient Homemade Marinated Salmon – Gravadlax is amazingly easy to prepare. And the effect is even better!
This is how the salmon looks like under a snowy blanket of salt, sugar, fresh dill and a lemon zest ↓↓↓.
I wouldn’t be surprised if, after trying this Gravadlax Marinated Salmon (Low FODMAP), in the smoked salmon style, you would never want to buy a shop bought smoked salmon again. It is because not only it tastes good, but is much cheaper!
This Gravadlax is great for breakfast, lunch, sandwiches and salads, also as a side dish served during parties. If you marinate it today/ tomorrow, it will probably be ready for New Year’s Eve Party!
Even though it is a Scandinavian dish, for the first time it was prepared for me by a Spanish person. My own only change in this dish is that I added a lemon zest for a bit of freshness.

Measure the salt, sugar, grate the lemon zest and finely chop the dill. All of those ingredients need to be placed in these ready container and mixed well.
Then move some of the white mix on the sides, place the salmon fillet skin side down in the middle and cover it with the “snow” from the sides.
Place the closed container in the fridge for at least 2 days (it depends on the thickness of the fillet) or even better 3-4 days. It is natural that salt draws out some water from the fish, therefore there will be some visible in the container.
When the salmon fillet is ready, remove it from the marinate, which can be discarded. Rinse the fillet under running water. It can be served straightaway.
