Great recipe !

My business takes me to Sweden a couple of times each year, and i was 
fortunate enough to get the recipe for Gravlax from a collegue in Stockholm. 
Its very similar to yours, except it calls for white pepper over black 
pepper. Also, no GM, but that sounds like a great "upgrade".

If you have any fresh dill around, it goes well with the flavors in the 
sauce if you are leaving out the GM and orange zest.

Very enjoyable treat with some crusty bread, or all on its own.
