Ingredients

0 minutes
  1. 2 kgtrout
  2. 80 gsalt (4% of fish weight)
  3. 60 gbrown sugar (3%)
  4. 1/2 cupsage (chopped sage from garden)
  5. 20 gfennel seeds (or dill). Or lots of fronds from either would be even better

Cooking Instructions

0 minutes
  1. 1

    Salt, Sugar, Seeds and Sage mix

  2. 2

    2kg whole rainbow trout. Must have been previously frozen!
    * second time did with 2.6kg fish. Made 2 fillets approximatejly 800g each

  3. 3

    Cut two fillets from whole trout. Quick Poach the head, bones, and the fatty parts to use for fish stock, and fish&potato cakes

  4. 4

    Lay fillets on ⅓ of the dry rub mix. Then cover and lightly rub in the rest of mix on top.
    Seal with plastic “Saran” wrap. Weigh down fillets with some heavy object (or not)

  5. 5

    Test after 42hrs. This is good, but perhaps too salty. Next time use the weight of the fillets to determine percentage of salt and sugar, Instead of using the weight of the whole cleaned fish that was used before cutting into two fillets

  6. 6

    Test after 3 days. Wash off the salt. Slice very thin. Not too salty at all in center.
