Recipe - Vodka And Citrus Cured Salmon

One half cup Kosher salt
One fourth cup Chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoon Grated lemon zest
2 tablespoon Grated orange zest
2 tablespoon Grated lime zest
One fourth cup Absolut Citron Vodka
3 tablespoon Sugar
1 Piece fresh salmon fillet;
(2 pound) skin on, pin
bones removed and rinsed
under cold water

In a mixing bowl, combine the salt, dill, zest's, vodka and sugar together.
Place the salmon, skin side down, on several large sheets of plastic wrap.
Cover the entire salmon with the curing mixture, packing the cure into the
salmon. Wrap the salmon completely and tightly in the plastic wrap and
place the salmon, skin side down on a half sheet pan. Place something
heavy, like a skillet, weights or a brick (which needs to be wrapped in
plastic wrap) on top of the wrapped salmon. This will help infuse the
salmon into the mixture. Refrigerate the salmon for 24 hours.

Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and wipe off the salt mixture.
Rinse the salmon under cold water, removing all of the cure. Using a sharp
knife, slice the salmon diagonally, paper thin and set aside.
