Gravlax with fennel and cucumber

It does take a bit of time to make this, so it’s definitely one for a long weekend or a celebratory holiday, but it is so much fun to do and it’s such a spectacular dish to serve that it’s well worth that little bit of time spent forward planning.

The fennel salad cuts the richness of the salmon and the mustard-dill dressing adds a lovely herby sweetness to the mix.
