Salmon - sushi style at home!

Ever wonder how they make that salmon that's on your sushi roll?  Well... I've seen my mom and grandma make this treat for years.  It turns out, it is super simple!  And much more cost effective than buying a tiny package of smoked salmon at the store - or stocking up on salmon rolls.

I bought a fillet about the size of my hand -

Take off the skin of the fillet.
Mix 2 tbsp of salt with 1 tbsp of sugar and rub the entire fillet - both sides, everywhere!
Place in a bowl and cover, set aside on the counter for 2 hours.
You'll see liquid start to come out - that's a good sign.
Place in the refrigerator for 24 hours - with the liquid and everything.
Take out, cut off a piece and check for salt level.  If you like it, wash the remaining salt off, cut into pieces and place in a container with olive oil - so the fish is just covered, not swimming in olive oil.

Enjoy!
