This is a very simple recipe and the salmos will come out like smoked salmon that you can buy but with the great difference in the price and superior quality. In this recipe the only difficult part is cutting the salmon into thin slices but if you use a well sharpened knife and you approach the task with calm you will have little problem. You may see that the fist slices do not come out as thin as you may like but with practice you will see how you improve I assure you.

We will begin with half a salmon of about i kilo in weight, later when you see the results and remembering it can be refrigorated several weeks you can do a whole salmon. This has a multitude of recipies the simplest are salads, canapes wrap for shrimp or just a slice on a cooked potato.

The salmon is sold at the fish market or supermarket. Ask that it be cut to be marinated. If you live where this is difficult to do you can do it yourself, just remove the head, slice it in two and remove the spine from the center.
