| 1. With tweezers or pliers, pull out the intermuscular bones of salmon. | 2. In a non-reactive dish (glass, porcelain, enamel or stainless) large enough to accommodate the salmon without crowding, scatter half of the sliced onions and sprinkle half of the dill on the onions. | 3. In a small mixing bowl combine the salt, sugar, peppercorns and juniper berries and mix them well. | 4. Rub half of this mixture into the flesh side of the salmon and spoon rub half the juice and vanilla on the flesh; set the salmon, flesh side down on the dill and onions. | 5. Rub remaining salt mixture into skin side of salmon and remaining lemon juice mixture over that. Lay remaining dill on salmon, then cover with last of onion slices. | 6. Cover with plastic wrap, then weigh the salmon down with bricks, small iron skillets or canned goods. | 7. Cover the dish and weights with aluminum and refrigerate for 2 to 3 days. | 8. During the marination time, spoon the juices the salmon give off and marinade back over the salmon. | 9. After 2 to 3 days, or when ready to serve, remove salmon from the marinade and scrape off dill and onions from skin side, but leave it on for garnish from flesh side. | 10. Slice salmon as thinly as possible on diagonal toward tail and serve with mustard sauce. Or set slices of salmon with a dab of mustard sauce on black bread for hors d'oeuvres. | 11. To make sauce, mix two mustards, sugar and vinegar until pasty. With a wire whisk, slowly beat in oil until it forms a thick mayonnaise like mixture. Stir in chopped dill. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
