Spicy pickled salmon in a jar

Spicy Pickled Salmon

Spicy pickled salmon is a unique Scandinavian dish that enriches traditional pickled salmon with a spicier, more intense flavor profile. The unique combination of chili, coriander, and caraway gives the fish a deeper, more characterful flavor that goes perfectly with rye bread or fresh salads. The pickling and souring technique has a long history in the Nordic countries, where preserving fish was crucial in the cold months. If you like spicy, rich flavors, you should definitely try this recipe!

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Thoroughly rinse the salmon fillet under cold water, then pat it dry with paper towels.

    2

    Using a sharp knife, thinly slice the salmon to speed up the pickling process.

    3

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

    4

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

    5

    Pour the cooled spiced 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

    For the best flavor, let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 48 hours before serving.
