If you like cured salmon, a little sweet but with a blander taste than the expensive store bought kind, then this quick & easy recipe is for you. This home cured salmon is a great substitute with a similar, though individual flavor,than the expensive, luxury priced imported Irish salmon. This highly secret recipe process takes 7 days but requires very little labor...just a couple minutes everyday. Once you make and taste the fruits of your labor, I am sure you will say this is a winner! I found this Irish recipe in a newspaper article years ago....................5/7/12
