This week we learn how to cure salmon.  Curing salmon is an old technique that uses a combination of salt and sugar to cure the fish, layered with other aromatics and spices.  Our recipe has a bit of an Asian edge, but you can do this simply with vodka, dill and coriander if you do so wish.  Typically, you will need 6-8 ounces of salt and about 4-8 ounces of sugar for a 2-3 pound side of salmon.  The more sugar the moister the end result.  The cure here works with time, so if you use less fish, cure it for less time.  1 lb of salmon only requires about a day to cure.
