YACHT - NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

Homemade Gravlax

- 2 fresh salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup salt
- 1/8 cup sugar
- 1/8 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp, 1 tsp pepper
- dill

We took the skin off. Mixed together salt, sugar, and pepper. Coated the fillets with the mixture. Covered both sides of each with dill. Plastic wrapped them. Put them in a baking dish. You want to weigh them down at this point so they’ll kinda flatten out. We just used bowls/bottles/cans. Stuck it in the fridge for three and a half days (they say 2-6 days). Drained the liquid off once in that time. And voila! The finished product was on the saltier side, so I’d decrease the salt next time. But it probably depends on the weight of your fish as well. But even with the saltiness, it ends up being okay when eaten with the works (bagel, cream cheese, onion, etc.). Enjoy!

So I’m not really one to post on restaurants, but when you get to experience the #6 restaurant in the world (#1 in North America), standards kind of don’t matter anymore. $460 per person with wine pairings. Sure, why not? :}

i love aquariums so much. i often go to my local one and sit and watch the fish to relax. i have been fortunate to travel all over the world including japan however i’m yet to visit the Kuroshio Sea tank. it is something i will do before i die. even know there is a larger tank in Georgia this one is my favorite. it’s beautiful.
