My sister in law Shainy like me, enjoys to experiment in the kitchen. However she is braver than me. She recently told me how she made homemade Lox. To tell you the truth I was a bit wary about trying it since it just doesn’t sound like the kind of thing that you make at home and tastes good. But I figured she tried it she said it was good so there is no harm if I try it. To tell you the truth the first time I took it out to taste it was awful, but that was because I was a few hours to early. When I tasted it a day later it was great. It is easy to make and absolutely delicious.

Homemade Lox

INGREDIENTS:

1 fillet of salmon

A few tablespoons of vodka

½ cup of salt

½ cup sugar

¼ fresh dill

DIRECTIONS:

Pour a few tablespoons of vodka over the salmon and let it sit for 20 minutes. Dry the salmon and mix the remaining ingredients in a bowl. Pat the mixture all over the top and bottom of the salmon and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place in a container or pan so the juices don’t leak all over your refrigerator. Place something heavy on top. Refrigerate for 3-4 days. When you take it out there might be parts of the top layer that got hard just slice them off.
