Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the salt, sugar, and ground black pepper.
- Rinse and pat dry the salmon fillet and lay it on a long piece of plastic wrap.
- Sprinkle all of the salt/sugar/pepper mixture on top of the salmon fillet.
- Lay the fresh dill on top and tightly (but gently) wrap the salmon so that there is no air inside.
- Place the salmon on a plate and refrigerate for two days.
- Unwrap the salmon and rinse off the salt and sugar and pat the fillet dry. Discard the dill.
