Instructions

Mix the salt, sugars, and spices together in a bowl. Line a small baking dish with foil and pile about half of the mixture in the center. Lay the salmon on top so that the bottom is completely covered. Add a layer of citrus zest on top of the salmon and spread it around evenly. Top with the remaining curing mixture, making sure to pile it up on the sides so the salmon is completely covered. Wrap it tightly in the foil and refrigerate, topped with a weighed-down baking sheet, for 24 hours, flipping halfway through. Rinse thoroughly before use and enjoy!
