Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough’s Ramp-Cured Halibut Gravlax
Makes about 6 servings
Ingredients:
1/3 cup chopped ramps, green parts only
1/3 cup coarse sea salt
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Two 1-pound halibut fillets, skinned
3 tablespoons minced dill fronds
Directions:
1. Place the ramps, sea salt, sugar, olive oil, and pepper in a food processor fitted with the chopping blade; process until a grainy paste.
2. Massage a quarter of this mixture into one side of each fillet. Place them coated side down in a 9 x 13-inch glass baking dish or other nonreactive dish. Massage the remaining paste into the fillets, coating them thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours.
3. Rinse well, pat dry, and slice off any dried edges. Coat the fish with the dill and slice into paper-thin strips. Store unsliced portions wrapped in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
