How to make salted salmon (homemade lox)

Cut salmon into thin strips

Place strips in bowl in layers. Sprinkle enough salt to touch each piece. Sprinkle black pepper. Continue this process with each layer of salmon (garlic and old bay are nice additions)

This is what it will look like when salmon pieces layered and seasoned in container

Squeeze lemon juice over fish

Press aluminum foil (shiny side down) over fish .

Cover with aluminum foil (unless you have a top. I broke the one that came with this container)

Place container in refrigerator. It will be ready to eat the next morning.
