Maple Salmon Gravlax

Here is a good recipe for any lover of maple syrup and raw salmon. The salmon gravlax comes from Scandinavian cuisine. Gravlax is a very simple way to cook salmon. Instead of cooking the fish, let it marinate in the freezer in a coating of maple syrup and salt. One of the advantages of this recipe is that the fish does not need to be cooked. After marinating 3-4 days, the salmon will become like smoked salmon. It will have soft flesh and a refined taste. Serve as an appetizer on baguette slices with Philadelphia.
