Chinese-Style Cured Salmon

This is the China Moon answer to gravlax, a fillet of lightly cured salmon hinting of ginger, coriander, and Szechwan peppercorn. I love it far better than the usual dill-inspired version, particularly when it is mated with our Sweet Mustard Sauce.

Cured salmon is surprisingly easy to make. Forget the many recipes that call for wrapping and turning the fish in inscrutably esoteric ways! A piece of plastic film and a few days’ patience is all that is required.
