Salmon Two Ways

Where will you serve yours?
Lapsang Souchong is a fabulous addition to any pantry. Beyond making a robust cuppa that will keep you warm even on the coldest mornings, Lapsang Souchong is a great way to add smoke to dishes without actually breaking out the smoker.
Yes, we know that this is a recipe that is not at all vegan, but it bears saying that we often recommend Lapsang Souchong as a pantry staple for vegan customers who are looking to add the smokey flavor of meat to dishes without any actual meat. Using Lapsang in recipes like this tea cure, as part of broths, or in marinades is a great way to impart flavor to any dish!
Remove pin bones from the salmon and place in a glass container, such as a pyrex or a 8x8 baking pan.
Blend all ingredients in the cure in a small bowl. Lay a bed of the cure at the bottom of the container, place the salmon on top and cover with a thick layer of cure. Reserve any extra cure. Refrigerate the salmon.
In 24 hours, remove the salmon from the refrigerator, pour off/remove any water, cover the salmon with remaining cure, and add fresh cure. Allow to rest another 24 hours.
Brush and lightly rinse off the cure. Dry off the salmon, slice thinly and enjoy! Salmon may be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
