If you are planning to smoke the salmon, may I suggest that a DRY cure (such as is used to prepare gravlax) is not as suitable as a brine (wet) cure. The gravlax (equal quantities of salt and sugar plus whatever flavorings you like)cure tightens the cells and makes for a much less moist product. The most successful smoked items (fish, poultry, meats) are brined (with additional seasonings to taste) and then smoked.
