A Unique Surf & Turf

Saw a recipe I thought would be good In Coastal Living magazine and modified it slightly for Gin Infused Arctic Char. I used Atlantic Salmon. You guys should try this as it is fabulous.

1/2 cup fresh Dill, 1/3 cup each of brown and white sugar and Kosher.1/4 cup of a good Gin. 1 Tbsp Juniper Berries which I ground in a mortar, 1 Tbsp black peppercorns, zest of one Orange. All mixed well together and slathered on both sides of a nice fillet, skin removed, covered tight in plastic and another pan on top weighted heavy. In the fridge for 24 hours, then the filet out of wrap and on parchment paper in the fridge for another 8-12 hours.

The fragrance and flavor when done is superb, brush off all the dill etc.

Wow, Bill, that looks amazing! I'll book mark that recipe (and your adjustments) for sure. Fresh, wild salmon has been a little scarce around here this year (read...expensive!), but if I find some will try this out. Chops and sprouts look spot on! Nice work.

Sounds Tasty! We have a really good local distillery that makes gin. I'll have to give this a shot.
 
WOW!!! Bill, you nailed that one and everything looks so delicious. That is one fantastic plate of food my friend.
 
Another masterpiece, Bill. Pretty cool variation on gravlax, must have been amazing on the cocktail toasts with all the various condiments. Nice classic preparation on the lamb chops, further elevated with garden fresh herbs.
