    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 thinly to speed up the pickling process.

    3

    In a sterilized jar, layer the salmon slices with thinly sliced red onion, garlic cloves, and grated ginger.

    4

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

    5

    Pour the cooled sweet and sour brine 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

    Before serving, let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 48 hours for the flavors to fully develop.
