Combine the dill, sugar, vodka, salt and lime zest in a small bowl and stir until well mixed.
Spread the mixture over the salmon flesh. Cut the side of salmon in half crosswise. Fold each piece in half so the flesh is touching and the marinade is on the interior. Wrap the pieces tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 days.
