about 20 tinned sprat fillets
salt and pepper
150 ml of single cream
150 ml of whole milk
1 tbsp of dried breadcrumbs

1. Preheat the oven to around 200C.
2. Peel the potatoes and chop them into small 0.5cm piece sticks – a bit thinner than French fries.
3. Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the onion and cook until soft. Take care not to burn the onion – it should be cooked, but not turning brown. 
4. Add the potatoes and cook for a few minutes.
5. Layer half of the onion and potato mixture in the bottom of an ovenproof dish, then top with 10 sprat fillets evenly across. Season with salt and pepper.

Cured salmon with gin “Gingravad lax”

This recipe of cured salmon in Swedish is called Gravad lax. It is a Swedish buffet classic. It is normally cured with salt and sugar and flavoured with dill and white pepper, but in this recipe it is also added some gin and juniper, a popular twist in Sweden at Christmas to give the salmon a slightly more sophisticated taste. It can be served as an appetiser on a julbord (Christmas buffet) or as a starter. 
 

Ingredients:

1.2 kg salmon fillet, in 2 pieces, with skin on
2 tbsp of white peppercorns
2 tsp of juniper berries
60 g of coarse sea salt
10 g of light muscovado sugar
30 g of caster (superfine) sugar
25 g of dill, roughly chopped including stalks
3 tbsp of gin

Step by step:

1. Run your fingers over the salmon to feel for any tiny pin bones. If you find any, remove them with tweezers.
2. Coarsely crush the peppercorns and juniper berries using a pestle and mortar.
3. Make your curing mixture by mixing together the salt, sugars, crushed pepper and juniper berries.
4. Cut a piece of clingfilm (plastic wrap) large enough to take both pieces of salmon. Spread a little of the dill and some of the curing mixture on the clingfilm. Place the salmon fillets skin side down on it.
5. Rub the rest of the curing mixture over the surface of each fillet, pour the gin over and then add the remaining dill.
6. Bring the two pieces together to create a sandwich, with the skin on the outside. Wrap up well with the clingfilm, place in a freezer bag, trying to exclude as much air as possible, and then tie the bag. Place in a dish, top with a weight (such as a smaller baking dish or plate with cans of beans on top) and leave to cure in the fridge for 48 hours, turning every 12 hours or so.
7. Unwrap the fish, scrap off the dill and rinse the salmon quickly under cold running water. Transfer to a fresh plastic bag and return it to the fridge for a further 24 hours to allow the cure to even out.
8. Slice cured salmon with a very sharp knife. 
9. Use it within 2 or 3 days or put in the freezer for later. 

Sliced thinly it can be served on top of thinly sliced rye bread, garnished with a small piece of lemon. Or serve it on a large platter garnished with juniper berries and dill sprigs. Just before serving, drip a little gin over the salmon.
