CLASSIC LOX RECIPE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Cut the salmon in half across the fillet into two halves.
- In a bowl, mix the sugar, salt, peppercorns, juniper berries, dill, and optional chili pepper flakes , if using.
- Place one half of the salmon, skin side down, onto a long sheet of plastic wrap. Cover the flesh of the salmon with the sugar, salt, and pepper mix.
- Place the second fillet flesh side down on top to create a "salmon sandwich." Wrap the fish pieces tightly in plastic wrap.
- Put the "salmon sandwich" into a shallow baking dish, making sure the fish stands higher than the sides of the pan. Place a baking tray on top of the salmon and weigh it down with a heavy object such as canned beans, rice bags, or heavy books (covered in plastic wrap to avoid passing on fish smells).
- Put the fish into the refrigerator and leave it to cure for 3 to 4 days, turning the salmon twice a day or at least once every day. If there is any accumulated liquid, pour it out and change the plastic wrap.
- When ready to serve, remove the wrap, pour away any liquid and wipe away most of the sugar, salt, and peppercorns, leaving a little on the edges for decoration. Slice as desired: thin for bagels , thick if it's meant to be the main course.

BEET-CURED LOX
A touch of horseradish gives this cured salmon recipe warmth and a bit of bite, while the beets give it earthy sweetness and vibrant color.

Steps:
- Grate beets and horseradish and mix together. Mix salt and sugar then spread generously on salmon filet. Spread beet and horseradish mixture on top of that. Scatter dill sprigs over the top, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until cured, about 3 days.
- When salmon feels firm, after about 3 days, remove toppings and discard. Gently rinse filet of remaining salt and sugar and pat dry. Slice very thinly to serve.
BEET- AND HORSERADISH-CURED SALMON
This is a good first foray into curing because the process is simple and relatively quick and the reward considerable. Thanks to the beets, the color on the outside of the salmon is a deep, rich fuchsia. And don't be afraid to use fresh horseradish if you can find it; just be careful.

Steps:
- If using fresh horseradish, peel, cut into chunks and process in a food processor, using the steel blade. Do not grate it by hand; the fumes will be overpowering. Drape the food processor with a damp towel and carefully crack the lid, under the towel, to absorb the fumes.
- Remove pin bones from salmon and set aside. In a large stainless steel or glass bowl, combine horseradish and remaining ingredients, wearing gloves to avoid turning your hands purple.
- Choose a nonreactive pan that is just large enough to hold the salmon fillet or line a pan with plastic wrap. Drizzle a little of the beet mixture on pan and place the salmon, skin-side down, on top. Cover the flesh with remaining beet mixture, making it thinner on tail and belly section and thicker everywhere else.
- Cover with plastic wrap, place another pan on top, and weight with cans. Cure in refrigerator for 3 days.
- Gently scrape off beet mixture and discard. Cut salmon in thin slices and serve. Whole fillet, well wrapped in plastic, will last 1 week refrigerated.

- First up, check your fish for any pin bones. Those are the tiny bones along the thick side of the fish (not every filet will have them). Simply remove with tweezers or your hands, or have your fish guy do it if you are lazy.
- Generously brush bourbon all over fish. (This helps with curing, in addition to tasting real good) Place a large piece of plastic wrap in a large glass pan.
- In a large bowl, combine salt, sugar, beets, dill, fennel, lemon zest and crushed red pepper flakes.
- Place some of the mixture down on the plastic wrap, then the salmon, and then more mixture and wrapped her up tight.

- Firts make sure to thoroughly dry your salmon by pressing a paper towel all over it to remove any extra moisture.
- Lay some plastic wrap across a large baking sheet that has sides so liquid doesn't spill over as it cures. A shallow baking dish works well too.
