Homemade cured salmon in a vacuum-sealed packaging
Cured salmon is a fantastic appetizer which you can easily prepare at home. It can be stored for quite long time without loss of taste. There are only 5 components that you need to take:
- fresh salmon fillet
- salt
- sugar
- spices
- herbs
- a vacuum bag
Cured salmon is a Scandinavian dish in origin. The Scandinavians used this method of preparing fish as it guaranteed a long-term storage at times when there were no refrigerators. Fortunately, with today’s technology it’s very easy to prepare delicious, juicy salmon in a vacuum-sealed packaging. You can have it for breakfast or serve as an appetizer. You can be sure that everyone will be impressed by such a delicacy. There are two different techniques of curing salmon: a dry cure and a wet cure. If you opt for a dry cure, sprinkle salt, sugar and herbs over the salmon fillet and put the fish in a vacuum bag. Vacuum seal the bag and then place it in the fridge. The vacuum bag is used to speed up the cooking process.
Wet cures are almost the same, except that you mix salt, sugar and herbs or spices with water or oil. You can also use a mixture of lemon juice with vinegar. Once you’ve learnt how to make cure salmon, you can get really creative with the flavors you add. Salmon can be cured either with or without skin.
So how does it work? It's all about the osmosis process. Sounds like a tricky word you might remember from your physics class, yet it’s very simple. Osmosis is a process of removing moisture from salmon fillets. And this means that salmon can last longer and its flavor improves. Sounds like it really worth trying, right?
How is cold-smoked salmon made
Cold-smoked salmon is a popular and tasty treat that you can make at home. However, you can also purchase it at our online shop. This way, we'll make all the needed preparations ourselves whereas you can focus on the most important thing – the tasting!
Cold-smoked salmon is usually smoked at 200 C, but sometimes temperature can differ by 5 degrees. Salmon isn’t smoked straight away and there are a couple of things that must be done before cooking:
- Place the salmon on the grill so that all the liquid can drain from the fish.
- Cure the fish as described above. Here we would recommend sticking to a dry cure technique.
- After the fish is cured, place it in a cold smoke generator and leave it for a few hours.
Haven’t got a cold smoke generator? Then why don’t you order some cold-smoked salmon from our shop? It’s inexpensive yet delicious and of premium quality!
If you’re especially fond of cold-smoked salmon and would like to cook it yourself, then it might be worth getting such a generator. The cold-smoked salmon takes much longer time to prepare than the hot-smoked one, but it also preserves the natural flavor and retains more nutrients.
