Marinated salmon (Swedish style)

Marinated salmon Swedish style is your basic marinated salmon, but cut in thicker slices than most store bought version. It's a fool proof recipe:

1. get two fillets of salmon (with the skin!) of equal size,
2. rub a mixture of coarse salt ("gros sel") and sugar into each filet (fleshy side), there should be enough to coat the filet.
3. sprinkle on whole peppercorns, cover with fresh dill, and put the fillets together, fleshy side against fleshy side. Press down.
4. wrap in parchment paper and aluminum, then seal in a plastic bag and put in the fridge with some weight on top (wine bottles, milk cartons, whatever you have handy).
5. leave in fridge for at least 24 hours, turning over once.
6. open the packet, remove peppercorns, dill, and rub off any excess salt/sugar mix with a paper towel.
7. cut, and eat with sauce (see recipe under 'fish') and potatoes in any shape or form.
