Combine the salt, sugar and citrus zest. Rub a tablespoon of liquor over each filet. Pack some of the sugar and salt mixture on the fish – this should be a heavy pack. Fold the filet in half and wrap in plastic film. Do the same to the other filets.
Place the salmon in a hotel pan. Place another hotel pan on top of them and load with three #10 cans or some other weight to press the fish. Place in the fridge. The salmon will take about 5 or 6 days to cure. Drain excess liquid from the pan every day or two.
