Remove the gravlax from the refrigerator. Scrape off most of the dill and seasonings; pat dry with paper towels.

As a reminder: if you are not using a) sushi-grade fish or b) commercially frozen fish, this is the point where you will need to wrap the gravlax well and place it in a -10º F (-23º C) freezer for 7 days.
