Need some sleep.........

Hello to you all. We just had a baby boy as you may know and he has been taking alot of our time, so sorry for being gone for so long.
So here is a great food, for dinner tonight. Must like fish......

Serving size: 4

Ingredients; 2/3 Cup salt 1/2 Cup Lemon zest 1/2 Cup Lime zest 1/2 Cup Orange zest 1/2 Cup Sugar 3 Tbs Black peppercorns 2 1/2 lb Salmon with skin

Instructions; Sprinkle the salmon with the salt, zests, sugar and peppercorns. Wrap in plastic wrap first and then in foil. Refrigerate for 2 days, turning every 12hours. Remove from the refrigerator and rinse. Slice into paper-thin slices.

  1. I have a couple of questions re: this recipe b/c it sounds good and I want to try it. Where does one purchase plastic wrap for salmon? Is this special cooking plastic or any plastic that is clean? Also, will the salmon be cooked in 10 minutes?

  2. To N.G,
    You can use regular plastic wrap. You are not cooking the salmon in the plastic, just marinating it for couple of days.
    And yes, it will cook in ten minutes. It sounds like a lot of work for a meal but the outcome is outstanding.
