Chef's Notes
Do not rush the cure! The vodka acts as a flavor carrier rather than getting you tipsy, so do not substitute it with water unless you want a sad, watery salmon.
Pro Tip
Always use kosher or coarse sea salt rather than fine table salt, otherwise your cure will dissolve too quickly and turn your delicate salmon into a salt lick.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Forgetting to flip the salmon every 12 hours results in one side bathing in its own salty extracted juices while the other side stays dry, creating an unevenly cured texture that will deeply offend your tastebuds.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Our Jester asks: Why does the salmon need a bath in vodka? Because even a fish wants to forget it was just caught for dinner!
The Culinary Science
Curing works through osmosis; the salt and sugar draw out moisture while firming up the protein structures, essentially cooking the fish chemically without a single flame.
