Cut along belly line (between loin, top, and belly).
Remove and discard darker brown meat with a different grain.
Coat the salmon with the rub.
Put into a ziplock and remove the air.
Refregirate for 3 days, flip every day.
Rinse. Put on a cooling rack and dry in the fridge for 4 hours.
Slice thinly.
Notes
Choose the firmest and thickest fillet possible.
The harder the rigor the salmon has experienced, the softer the
fillets will be.
Look for (and avoid) fillets with gaps between muscle striations.
Gaps first form in the muscles near the backbone and head, which is
the thickest portion. This section experiences the most force going
into rigor.
