Planning to make Salmon Gravadlax later on and have just been to the shops (argh so many ppl). I've realised I've forgotten to get flaky sea salt and there's no way I'm venturing back out for it!

Here's the recipe:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/ho...lax_with_08463
85g/3oz caster sugar
70g/2½oz flaky sea salt
2 tbsp schnapps, gin or vodka
2 tsp freshly ground white pepper
100g/3½oz fresh dill
500g/1lb 2oz centre-cut salmon fillet

Do you think I could just use table salt instead?

I imagine it should be fine


I've never made gravadlax. I did cure a cod once though.

Yes, table salt will do just as well.

Fantastic, thanks folks

I've never made it before either vosne - I saw Sainsburys had it in their party food aisle and thought I'd steal the idea! How did the cod turn out, was it nice?

I was excellent, yeah. Kinda the Spanish bacalao thing. I think I made some canape/fritter things with it. I like doing things like that. Let us know how you get on with the gravadlax. Fancy having a go at that.
