If you like cured salmon, a little sweet but with a blander taste than the expensive store bought kind, then this quick & easy recipe is for you.
This home cured salmon is a great substitute with a similar, though individual flavor,than the expensive, luxury priced imported Irish salmon.
This highly secret recipe process takes 7 days but requires very little labor...just a couple minutes everyday.
Once you make and taste the fruits of your labor, I am sure you will say this is a winner!
