Gravad lax

 

Oriental fish burger

  • 1 WHOLE SALMON
  • 100 GRAM SEA SALT
  • 50 GRAM SUGAR
  • BUNCH OF DILL, chopped
  • 1 TBSP FRESH MILLED PEPPER
 
  • 500 GRAM WHITE FISH FILLET
  • BUNCH OF GREEN ONIONS, chopped
  • 1 CLOVE GARLIC, mashed
  • 100 GRAM SMOKED SALMON, chopped
  • 6 TBSP BREAD CRUMBS
  • 1 TSP SESAME SEEDS
  • 200 GRAM COCONUT MILK
  • 2 TBSP GINGER SYRUP
  • 1 LEMON, juice and rind

Cut two fillets from the salmon, as close to the bone as possible. Mix the salt with the sugar, the dill and the pepper. Put one fillet on a plate, skin side down, distribute the salt mixture over it, put the other fillet on top, skin side up. Put a plate on top and put a heavy item on this plate, like a large can of beans. Put in the fridge. Every twelve hours, turn the whole thing around 180 degrees (careful, because fluid will drip out) for 3 days. Then cut the salmon in very thin slices and serve. You can keep it in the fridge for a few more days or freeze it (since it is a large quantity).

Chop the fish fillet fine with the help of a food processor and mix with the green onions, garlic and smoked salmon. Make 4 burgers. Mix the bread crumbs with the sesame seeds and roll the burgers through, cover both sides. Fry 7 minutes on both sides. In the mean time, mix the coconut milk with lemon juice and rind and ginger syrup and boil on high heat for a few minutes. Pour the sauce over the burgers.
