Ah fall - the leaves are changing colour and there is a cool crispness to the air. Fall is also the perfect time to preserve jars of Wild BC Salmon so you have a delicious, healthy treat to enjoy all winter long!

Ingredients

1 whole (16 Oz. Size) Wild Salmon Fillet, Skin Removed

4 Tablespoons of Coarse Sea Salt, Coarse Himalayan Pink Salt, Fine Sea Salt, or Canning & Pickling Salt

2 Tablespoons Sugar

1 small red onion - thinly sliced

6 cloves garlic

2 whole Bay Leaves

1 Tablespoon Black Peppercorns

1 Tablespoon Coriander

Fresh Dill to taste

2 Tablespoons White Vinegar

1 cup Olive Oil (or more if needed to cover)

Directions

• Cut your wild salmon fillet on a 45 degree angle into thin slices.

• In a small stainless steel bowl, combine the salt and sugar. Toss the salmon slices in the bowl, cover, and cure in the refrigerator for 24 hours.

• After 24 hours remove the salmon from the refrigerator and rinse the salmon slices well under running water.

• Layer the slices of salmon in a clean mason jar with the remaining ingredients, and fill the jar with oil until the salmon is fully covered.

• Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for a day or two to let all the flavours infuse together. When you are ready to serve, let the jar sit at room temperature until the oil is no longer opaque.

• Enjoy this delicious treat on it’s own, or enjoy with bagels and cream cheese!
