Homemade Gravadlax
Thin slices of home-cured salmon presented on black slate and accompanied by a lemon wedge. Gravalax or Gravadlax Lax is made by rubbing sides of fresh whole salmon with a mixture of crushed pepper, dill, sea salt and sugar (sometimes juniper is also added) then leaving to cure for three days. The result is a delectable and succulent preserved fish, needing only a squeeze of fresh lemon to accompany it. Presented on an old roofing slate — I love the colour contrast between the textured black slate and the rich pink salmon. A fallen birch tree provided some beautiful paper-thin bark to wrap a candle holder, and some reindeer moss, cranberries and ivy add to the Nordic feel of the shot.
