But, hey, it'll be blogged!
This is just the coolest thing ever. Two of our blogfriends, separately inspired by Husbear's post last year about easy home-curing with salmon, tested his bare-bones recipe by making their own! And they were both successful!
Check out the Gastronomer's trial with leftover salmon here, and Albany Jane's gravlox (or perhaps gravtrout?) here.
How awesome is THAT? Thanks, both of you guys, for the links, and the Mr. could not be happier that the gospel of home-curing is spreading from New York to California!
Aw shucks, you know how to make a gal blush. I wouldn't have ever tried making gravlox again if it weren't for how easy and idiot-proof you guys made it for me!

AJ, we're just so glad you did! I couldn't believe how easy it was either.

Hot damn! Wow! I'm totally trying this! Oh wait, all the salmon are gone :(
But seriously, I really do want to try this.

Hey, A! I'm sure you could give it a try with pretty much any firmer fish... trout? I know there's a huge salmon shortage. We're eating a lot less of it too.
