Someone gave me this the other day I used gurnard and it was really nice, so don't know what it would be like with salmon, but worth a try I would think.
Chop fish into bite size pieces, Chop 1 onion into quarters. Place both in bowl or jar and cover with cheap white wine and lemon...Taste! You don't want it too lemony or too much wine flavour. After 24 hours, drain, and remove onion. Cover with a mixture of whipped cream, fine chopped onion, mayonnaise and tomato sauce to colour, pinch of ceyenne, squeeze of lemon juice.Stir gently to combine

Good things take time, but you could possibly get by.
I use sugar, salt and lime juice.Use dill if you like it. Try putting it in in thefridge in a ziplock bag with the air removed and turning every few hours.When the flesh is firm you can slice it thinly.

I take it you want to make gravalax? It needs to be "marinated for two to three days.
2 sides fresh salmon
⅓ cup sea salt flakes
¼ cup white sugar
1 bunch dill, roughly chopped
1 tbsp white peppercorns, crushed
300g sour cream
1 tbsp horseradish cream
1 tbsp lemon juice
salt and white pepper, to taste
1 red onion, thinly sliced, to serve
baby capers, to serve
mini bagels, to serve
lime (or lemon) wedges, to serve
Put sides of salmon, skin side down, on a flat surface. Remove all bones with fish tweezers. Combine salt flakes, sugar, dill and peppercorns in a bowl. Rub salt mixture into salmon.
Put one side of salmon in a large shallow ceramic dish, skin side down. Put second side of salmon on top of first side of salmon, skin side up. Cover with plastic wrap and a large plate. Weigh plate down with tin cans. Refrigerate for 24 hours. Remove salmon from fridge, take off plate and plastic wrap and drain liquid. Cover dish with new plastic wrap. Return to fridge for 2–3 days, turning every 12 hours.
To make horseradish cream, combine sour cream, horseradish cream and lemon juice in a bowl. Season with salt and white pepper. Serve salmon on a large platter with horseradish cream, onion slices, capers, bagels and lime wedges

Enough that is is all covered generously.As it is on the outside the salmon will use what it needs.

Have to agree with Uli as you need a few days to do the salmon justice in order to end up with sensational gravalax. I have experimented for years with various recipes as gravalax is one of my all time favourite foods and the recipe that does it for me is as follows: 1kg salmon 3 tbspns coarse salt 3 tbspns brown sugar 3 tbspns ground black pepper 1 bunch fresh dill vodka
Make sure that you have all the pin bones out...take the time to do this well as it's important. Lay a sheet of gladwrap across the bottom of a dish (big enough to fit the salmon 'snuggly') with enough overhang to enable you to wrap the salmon entirely. Place salmon skin side down. Mix first three ingreds and sprinkle over the fillet. Lay the dill over and pour vodka over the whole lot. Place the other piece of salmon on top and fold gladwrap over. Cover with a plate and a couple of cans to act as a weight. 12-36 hours turning the salmon every 12 hours. Rinse the salmon, pat dry and slice very thinly. MMmmmm delicious.
The last salmon I did was whilst I was in Queenstown and I bought salmon which had been deboned...never come across this before but I'm sold as made the job so much easier.

Jamie Oliver did a lovely looking one on t.v the other night.. but yes, minimum of 36 hours curing with Jamies one so I would say if you're wanting Gravalax you will have to try it another time. Not enough time now this year. Maybe give it a go for New Years lunch.
