   Place the fillets skin side down on a work surface. Sprinkle with salt, sugar, pepper and fresh dill.

3. 3

   Place on of the fillets on top of the other, skin side up, so that the seasoned sides are together. Wrap tightly in a plastic wrap.

   Put a small weight on top of the salmon and put in in the fridge for minimum of 24 hours, but preferably 2-3 days.

5. 5

   Before serving, scrape off the seasoning and cut the fillets into thin slices.

   You can serve this with a slice of lemon, on some nice bread, with boiled potatoes, as an appetizer, as an evening snack. Or just eat it all by yourself. Delicious.
