- •0.33333334326744 cup white sugar
- •1 pound center-cut salmon fillet, pin bones removed
Instructions
- Whisk together cold water, salt, and sugar in a large bowl until sugar and salt are completely dissolved. Set brine aside.

- Working in batches of 5, place slices in brine for 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove cured slices to a wire rack; blot gently with paper towels.
- Arrange cured salmon in a single layer on a platter, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until chilled, 2 hours to overnight.
