Thanks Don - was blessed with a visit from my son and sadly he left for home today.  I'm just now catching up on posts and man, there are plenty of them to keep me busy for quite a while!

Gravlax!!  I haven't made ore eaten any in years.  This just went back on my to make list.  Some gravlax on a cracker with an ice cold shot of premium vodka...  Doesn't get much better than that!

I love it!

We have traditionally smoked and graved lax on Christmas Eve - and this year some smoked halibut.

I've tried making it with Tequila and brandy (not in the same batch, of course  ;D), but not vodka - that would be interesting.  This time I only wanted the fresh dill flavor complementing the deliciously fresh salmon.

I fixed us a couple of plates of salmon topped with cream cheese, thinly sliced onion, and capers - for outside while in the hot tub.  Also thinly sliced some of that delicious Christmas gift - using a porcelain blade allows slicing the prosciutto just about as thin as one purchases in the store.
