Lox is salmon, typically a filet, that has been cured, and then often it is cold smoked. The cold smoking does not cook the fish, resulting in its characteristic smooth texture similar to the raw product.

Variations on the name are lox (Yiddish), lax (Swedish), laks (Norwegian and Danish) and lachs (German

Salmon.

Lox is smoked salmon. It is popular served with cream cheese on a bagel.

Here is more information on it:

Smoked salmon. good on a bagel with cream cheese, onions and tomato.

Smoked salmon thinly sliced. And yes you spelled it right

Lox (Gravlax) is not smoked! It is salt and sugar cured with fresh dill, ground pepper and a small amount of cognac. Very fresh salmon is essential as it is raw, not cooked or smoked! It is cured for 48 hours, refridgerated, weighted down and turned every 10 -12 hours. It is as good as smoked salmon but not the same, at all!

With so many food allergies these days, I am floored that people continue to answer questions, they are not 100% sure of! When it comes to food or recipes, I sleep better knowing I have not endangered some ones life! We need to be more careful, don't you think?

Lox is simply salt curred salmon, it is traditionally served thinly sliced

Gravlax is not the same as lox it is a bit different and use different ingredients to cure

Enjoy Lox on toast, or bagels and condiments of
finely chopped onions, capers, boiled eggs. Not a big salmon eater but I love this stuff enjoy!!
Tried Gravlax I don't like dill or the sugar
