Instructions: This may be Swedens best know culinary export. Serve this delicacy sliced paper thin with brown bread and Mustard Dill sauce, or make it part of a Smorgasbord.

Remove any small bones from the fillets with a pair of tweezers or needle- nosed pliers. Mix the sugar, salt and pepper in a bowl. Cover the bottom of a baking dish with 1/3 the dill and rub half of the sugar-salt mixture into the first fillet, on both sides, and lay it skin side down on top of the dill. Cover with 1/3 of dill. Prepare the other salmon fillet in the same way, and cover with the remaining fillet, skin side up, with the remaining dill on top.

aa Cover in plastic wrap, place a cutting board with some heavy weights on top and marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Remove from plastic wrap and discard accumulated juices. Rewrap and refrigerate another 24 - 48 hours. Scrape off the marinade and slice paper thin.

Mustard Dill Sauce: Mix the mustard, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Add the oil slowly while whisking, to form an emulsion. Add the chopped dill.
