Preparation
- Step 1
In a bowl, combine the salt, sugar, peppercorns and juniper. Using your hands, rub 1 cup of the mixture all over the salmon. Transfer to a glass baking dish and cover with the remaining mixture. Scatter dill over the salmon and set aside at room temperature for 2 ½ hours. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 to 5 days.
- Step 2
When ready to serve, remove plastic and discard dill. Transfer the salmon to a cutting board and drizzle with the gin. Slice thinly on the diagonal. Serve with bread and garnishes of choice.

Served this New Year's Eve and it was a hit with every one of our guests. Used a skin on wild-caught King salmon. Substituted 3 tablespoons pink peppercorns for white.
