Unlike smoking, which dries and shrinks the fish, this pickling process allows the fish to stay moist and full-bodied. The gravlax can be refrigerated for up to two weeks. Serve gravlax thinly sliced on a piece of pumpernickel bread with dill butter (mix softened butter with chopped fresh dill).

    This is the best gravlax recipe ever! I've been making it for years for parties and it is divine. Even though I'm not a big fan of anise or caraway, they work perfectly here. I do a quick rinse under running cool water to remove the spice mixture, then pat dry. Four days is the perfect amount of time to cure it.

    I love Gravlax! I've always made mine with just plain sugar, salt, pepper, and dill. I'd never thought to use any spices! Don't know why!! I will certainly use this recipe soon!
