Gravlax au whisky de seigle

Rye whiskey gravlax consists of thin slices of fish that have been cured in a rye whiskey-based marinade. Fresh fillets of brown trout, sea trout, or salmon with their pin bones removed are generously seasoned with salt, sugar, and freshly cracked pepper, and then drizzled with Tasmanian rye whiskey before they are allowed to soak for at least 12 hours in the fridge. After soaking in the marinade, the fish fillets are rinsed and patted dry, and they can be served for breakfast, brunch, or as an appetizer. Paper-thin and delicate slices of gravlax with a hint of spiciness from the rye whiskey go well with anything from rye or sourdough bread, toasts, remoulades, boiled eggs, pickles, cream cheese, onions, dill, potatoes, asparagus, and rocket.
