9 lbs. salmon filets
3 Tbs. black peppercorns
3 Tbs. whole allspice
3 Tbs. mace
3 quarts vinegar
4 Tbs. salt
3 quarts water for boiling

Bring filets to a boil in salted water and simmer 15 minutes. I cut filets in half and cooked them one at a time in a wide frying pan, adding a little more water and salt for each filet. Start with half a tsp of salt and add no more than half a tsp before each filet is cooked. Drain salmon & place in storage container. Take vinegar and 1 quart of the cooking liquid and set to boil with the spices, including the remaining salt. Boil for 15 minutes. Pour this over the salmon & refrigerate. Let sit for at least 3 days. Serves about 30.

Sounds good! I love smoked salmon and gravlax, but don't tend to have it because of the sugar added. This might be a good alternative. I wonder if cutting down on the salt would make it spoil more quickly.
