    This gravlax recipe from Denmark is sometimes called Gravad Laks.  "Gravad" meaning in the ground.  This is a cured salmon not a smoked salmon, the result is fantastic almost candy like! It is also a component to the shooting star smorresbrod we made as an appetizer for our Danish meal.  This can easily be enjoyed on its own or served on small toasts with mustard and capers or dill, pretty much anything you would use smoked salmon for you can use gravlax for. This does take a few days to cure so make sure to plan ahead.
