RobBright 35 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 is lox like gravlax? Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Gravad lax or Gravlax. This is a traditional Nordic means of preparing salmon. The salmon is coated with a spice mixture, which often includes dill, sugars, salt, and spices like juniper berry. It is then weighted down to force the moisture from the fish and impart the flavorings. It is often served with a sweet mustard-dill sauce Lox is salmon fillet that has been cured. In its most popular form, it is thinly sliced—less than 5 millimetres (0.20 in) in thickness—and, typically, served on a bagel, often with cream cheese and capers. Noted for its importance in Ashkenazic Jewish cuisine, the food and its name were introduced to the United States through Eastern European Jewish immigrants. The term lox derives from Lachs in German and ל×ַקס (laks) in Yiddish, meaning "salmon". It is a cognate of Icelandic and Swedish lax, Danish and Norwegian laks, Czech losos, and Old English læx. Sometimes called regular or belly lox, lox is traditionally made by brining in a solution of water or oil, salt, sugars and spices (the brine). Although the term lox is sometimes applied to smoked salmon, they are different products. shamelessly stolen from the wiki reference Link to post Share on other sites

I had "Gravlax" at Gold Class movies about a year ago. I say "Gravlax" as it was just packet smoked salmon you can get at the supermarket - nothing different. It's a bit like calling custard powder custard with some melted sugar on the top a creme brulee! Link to post Share on other sites

Wish I could convince any one of the males inhabiting my house to do all that prep work for a roast. Alas, it is rare. Although #2 son spontaneously began cooking pancakes this morning... (there may be hope yet!) Late breakfast for me - I think I shall skip lunch today and just move on to dinner. Link to post Share on other sites
