  • Combine the citrus zests with the salt and sugar and the cooled Earl pyramid bag.
  • Lay a sheet of cling film on the bottom of a plastic container and sprinkle on 1/2 of the salt mixture.
  • Place the salmon fillets on top and sprinkle on the remaining salt mixture.
  • Lay another piece of cling film on the top of the salmon and add another container with some jam jars or something heavy placed in it.
  • Place this on top of the salmon and leave in the fridge overnight.
  • When ready the salmon should feel firm. Rinse thoroughly with cold water until the salt mixture has been completely removed. Slice thin to serve.
