Recipe: Russian Syrniki

Hi there! How have you been guys?

It’s been a very long time since my last post; in fact, I’ve taken a semi-permanent break from blogging to do some other fun and exciting things (a bit on that later). So I know it’s a little strange to find this blog post pop up here, especially since early last year I joined Karina’s blog – Nocturnal Book Reviews (which you should totally check out!) and closed the shop here, so to speak. But, tonight I made these absolutely easy and delicious syrniki that I felt the need to share with you – so here I am with a new recipe!

And, no, before you ask, I’m not back to blogging, (just yet at least). Life is a bit crazy around here these days, that I don’t want to commit to a regular blog. But it is certainly fun! What, with an addition of a rambunctious, adorable little boy in our household who is already quite fond of my cooking and loves books – a man after my own heart!

Recipe: Salt & Sugar Cured Salmon

From my breakfast table to yours, I give you the cured salmon. I’ve been meaning to post this for quite some time, so I’ll just let this recipe speak for itself. It’s simple to make, takes only a few days [don’t let this intimidate you, just plan ahead], with almost no prep, few ingredients and delicious results! Try it and don’t forget to let me know how it came out.

Salt & Sugar Cured Salmon
Servings 3 – 4

Ingredients:
1 lb fresh salmon
3 tsps salt
1 tsp sugar

Preparation:
Mix salt and sugar together in a small bowl and set aside. Wash and pat dry the fish gently, place in a shallow bowl. Sprinkle the salmon generously with salt and sugar mixture on both sides. (If using a whole fish, cut in half crosswise and once salted, fold the two halves on top of each other). Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let rest in the fridge for 2 days.
