Gravlax

Variations on this abound on the intertoobz, but the one I work from is here.

On the advice of the sage gourmet who pointed me to the recipe, I skip the coriander and add a few sprigs of rosemary and a couple sliced-up cloves of garlic. I never bother with the mustard sauce; the fish is plenty delicious without. And I generally don't get around to toasting the peppercorns.

With cheese and crackers, this is an ample appetizer for 8. Will have to see how far it stretches as breakfast or snacks. I seriously doubt that it's very economical, though, although variations on my favourites could yield some savings...could try cucumber slices and cream cheese instead of goat cheese and rice crackers, for instance.
