Remove any small bones from the salmon fillets.

Take a shallow container and sprinkle with half of the dill. Place one of the salmon fillets on the dill, skin side down. Rub half the salt and sugar mix into the salmon. Sprinkle with crushed peppercorns and half the remaining dill.
Repeat the process on the other piece of salmon and sandwich together, skin side up.
