  3. Sprinkle all of the salt/sugar/pepper mixture on top of the salmon fillet.
  4. Lay the fresh dill on top and tightly (but gently) wrap the salmon so that there is no air inside.
  5. Place the salmon on a plate and refrigerate for two days.
  6. Unwrap the salmon and rinse off the salt and sugar and pat the fillet dry. Discard the dill.
