  • Lay out a sheet of cling film and spread 1/3 of the mixture onto the centre and place the salmon fillets on top.
  • Add the rest of the mixture over the top of the fillets and make sure that they are completely covered.
  • Wrap tightly in cling film and place them into the fridge (on a plate just to be safe)
  • After 48 hours, remove from the fridge and wash off the curing mixture and pat dry.
  • Slice into the desired thickness and serve.
