Making your own gravlax (a cured fish similar to lox) may sound exotic formidable or just “not your thing.” Try it. It’s simple delicious refreshing and so versatile. It goes nicely with salad on crackers or as hors d’oeuvres on cucumber. Gravlax can stay in the fridge for three days after curing so it’s great to make in advance. Slice before serving with a very sharp knife on a diagonal then slide it away from the skin.
Peel and grate the beet keeping the pulp and juice together in a bowl. Stir in salt sugar vodka and lemon zest.
Spread out ⅓ of the mixture in a thin layer on a baking sheet and place the salmon fillet on top skin side down.
