Fish

This salad is spicy! Salmon marinated for a few days in sugar, salt, cayenne, hot sauce and cognac (the same idea as Gravlax) and served on a bed of preserved seaweed. This dish is inspired by the "Poke Salad" served at one of our favorite restaurants, but it's quite different in how the fish is prepared.

The last time my parents visited, my Mom showed me how to prepare gravlax (Swedish: "gravad laks", German: "Gravad Lachs"): Salmon cured with sugar, salt and dill.
