    Gravlax with gravlaxsas
    By Bjorn Felten, 203/208
    Originally published in Fidonews 08 Dec 2003
    Slightly adjusted after feedback from the readers


    1 fillet of salmon (with skin)
    10 cl sugar
    5 cl salt

    Sauce:
    3 cl (two tablespoons) mustard
    3 cl sugar
    3 cl vinegar
    1 eggyolk
    10 cl good cooking oil
    salt, pepper & chopped dill


    The fillet must first be frozen for at least three days, this
    because there is an itsy, bitsy, teeny, weeny chance that it can
    contain a small parasite. It is perfectly harmless when dead, and dead
    it will become after three days in the freezer. Obviously the fillet
    must be thawed before continuing with the preparations. :)

    First make sure you get the bones out of the fillet. They are all
    evenly located (with some 5-10mm distance) in the middle of the
    fillet. Place the fillet skinside down and gently run your finger over
    it to locate the bones. Use a pair of pliers to gently remove them.
    Observe the angle they have, so you can pull them out the same angle.

    Now place the fillet in a plastic bag. Mix the sugar and the salt
    and add it into the bag. Give it a good shake, and then try to remove
    as much air as possible before sealing the bag with a knot.

    Place the bag in the fridge and put a weight of some kind on it, a
    table plate or two is enough. Let it marinate for three days. Turn
    the package over once a day, while giving it a good rub, to make sure
    the sugar/salt mixture can reach every part of the fillet.

    After three days take out the fillet and rinse it carefully under
    running water.

    Once again place the fillet skinside down on a cutting plate and
    try to carve as thin slices as possible. The slicing angle should be
    very shallow, so you get as big slices as possible, but angle the
    knife just before you reach the skin and then go horizontally.

    The slices can be rolled to form little roses, or can be just put
    on a plate, nicely arranged.

    The sauce:
    Mix mustard, sugar, vinegar and eggyolk carefully. Then add the oil
    first a drop at a time, while whipping (just as when you make
    mayonnaise) and then at an increasing rate. Season with salt, pepper
    and chopped dill to your own liking. A typical Swedish sauce has
    *lots* of dill in it, but very little salt & pepper.

    This is a typical snack like dish. You can put it on toast or eat
    it alone, with a good dash of the 'gravlaxsas' on it. If you make
    roses out of the slices, you can use it to garnish any seafood dish.

    PO4 Prefers Out on 4 (Node can make outgoing IPv6 calls,
    but is configured to try IPv4 first)
    6DWN The IPv6 connectivity of this node is temporarely down.
    DOWN This node is temporarely down for both IPv4 and IPv6
    PM Prospective Member. The node has demonstrated IPv6
    capability but is not yet listed in the Fidonet nodelist.


    Notes:

    To make an IPv6 connection to a node connected via 6to4 tunneling
    one may have to force the mailer into IPv6 (-6 option in binkd's
    node config). If the destination address is a 6to4 tunnel address
    (2002::/16) many OSs default to IPv4 if an IPv4 address is present.

    JAMNNTPD SERVERS LIST =================================================================

    The Johan Billing JamNNTPd project

    This is a list of known JamNNTPd servers working. They are essentially
    the modern version of Bulletin Board Systems.

    You connect to them using the newsreader of your choice and you don't
    need any other software installed on your computer -- regardless of
    operating system -- but that favourite mail client of yours.

    Even smart phones can handle this, giving you the opportunity to get
    your daily doses of fidonet on the bus, tram or train on the way to
    your job, school or whatever.
