Sashimi - wild salmon is lean, no fat white lines like farmed ones, feel good to eat.

 

gravlax salmon

Gravlax - marinated in 2% its weight of salt and brown sugar, some chili and white pepper, for 3 days with a weight on top, for a firmer texture than sashimi.

 

The best like method is to poach in a simple broth, extremely tender juicy result, the soup is delicous too.
