• 1 lb skin-on Salmon Fillet (fresh, sushi-grade or previously frozen)
• 2 tbsp Rub with Love Salmon Rub
• 2 tbsp Brown Sugar
• 1 tbsp Kosher Salt

LOX INSTRUCTIONS: 

1. Gently pat the salmon dry with paper towels. Check for any pin bones, removing them with tweezers.
2. In a small bowl, combine the Salmon Rub, brown sugar, and kosher salt.
3. Evenly coat the flesh side of the salmon with the mixture, pressing it in to ensure full coverage.
4. Layer a few sprigs of fresh dill over the top.
5. Wrap the salmon fillet tightly in plastic wrap and place it on a shallow dish.
6. Weigh it down lightly with a small baking dish or a couple of cans to help the curing process.
7. Refrigerate for 24 to 36 hours, turning the fillet once about halfway through.
8. Once cured, unwrap the salmon and gently rinse off the excess seasoning.
9. Pat dry, then slice thinly at an angle using a sharp, flexible knife.
