    Preparation Steps

    1

    Rinse the salmon fillet thoroughly under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels.

    2

    Using a sharp knife, slice the salmon into thin slices to speed up the pickling process.

    3

    In a sterilized jar, layer the salmon slices with thinly sliced red onion, garlic cloves, dried chili peppers, and jalapeño pepper rings.

    4

    In a saucepan, bring the vinegar, water, brown sugar, salt, bay leaves, black peppercorns, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and dill to a boil. Allow to cool to room temperature.

    5

    Pour the cooled spicy pickling liquid over the salmon, then add freshly squeezed lemon juice for extra flavor.

    6

    Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.

    7

    Let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 48 hours before serving to allow the flavors to fully develop.
