08 de Enero de 2013Thank you for the recipe. Been making a similar version for years with one modification. When preparing, I drizzle a bit of cognac on each meat side to liven it up. I also turn it at least twice a day so that it is equally immersed in the liquid bath. You are correct about using farmed salmon. Used wild salmon once and it was disappointing.
