Vodka And Citrus Cured Salmon

1/2 Cup Kosher salt
1/4 Cup Chopped fresh dill
2 Tablespoon Grated lemon zest
2 Tablespoon Grated orange zest
2 Tablespoon Grated lime zest
1/4 Cup Absolut Citron Vodka
3 Tablespoon Sugar
1 Piece fresh salmon fillet; skin on, pin bones removed and rinsed under cold water (2 pound)
2 1/2 Other Carbohydrates

In a mixing bowl, combine the salt, dill, zest's, vodka and sugar together.
Place the salmon, skin side down, on several large sheets of plastic wrap.
Cover the entire salmon with the curing mixture, packing the cure into the
salmon. Wrap the salmon completely and tightly in the plastic wrap and place
the salmon, skin side down on a half sheet pan. Place something heavy, like
a skillet, weights or a brick (which needs to be wrapped in plastic wrap) on
top of the wrapped salmon. This will help infuse the salmon into the
mixture. Refrigerate the salmon for 24 hours.

Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and wipe off the salt mixture. Rinse
the salmon under cold water, removing all of the cure. Using a sharp knife,
slice the salmon diagonally, paper thin and set aside.
