How To Make Cured Salmon Gravlax Like A Real Pro

Gravlax or Lox is salmon that's been cured in salt, sugar and aromatics. It's neither hot nor cold smoked and the process of curing salmon at home is child's play for anyone that can follow a few simple instructions.

Cured salmon gravlax can be used in many different ways and you can have it pretty much any time of day.

Breakfast with scrambled eggs and gravlax, a lunch sandwich with a generous helping of lox and simply sliced with some salad as a light dinner all come to mind.

This is how the professionals cure their salmon.

[KateKatie]

I love your present.😍
I have question..after keep fish in the freez ; meat and teast is still same or not.

[joegreenwood]

Nice one Mr CV, You should do the beetroot version we used to do.

Recipe is on point, thumbnails are good, the editing is a bit wacky but unique style. Keep at it man, should work out

[alaaalami]

Is this way safe for raw sushi? I want to try it for the first time and I am scared of parasites

[Raul]

only 24 hours? I've never tried less than three days. I'll have to try that. Oh Single malt scoth or small barrel bourbon is a great addition and I like to use liquid smoke. All the smokiness and none of the heat.

[kevinkise]

When you freeze it, are you thawing it out before you slice it?

[the_anxiousexplorer]

Stupid question- when you say "cure it for 24 hours" do you put it in the fridge?

[martinslvsten]

I'm sure it's very tasty and i'll have to try it some time, however calling this Gravad Lax is like adding heavy cream and green peas to a pasta dish and calling it Carbonara.

[jepolch]

Looks great. Thanks!
PS. Are you wearing pants?

[jackvoss]

Durned stuff doesn’t keep well at my house. It gets eaten!
Oh! Wait! That’s what it’s made for! (Disregard last transmission.) 😏

Can you make this with the skin off? I have fresh-caught salmon and want to make Gravlax with it.

[thinkingoutloud]

That crap editing with the food going in and out of your mouth multiple times at the beginning was a real turn off for me.
No thanks.

[the-matrix-has-you]

That animation of slice of gravlox going in and out of your mouth looks disgusting🤮 it does not look tasty that way please don't do this kind of stunts. Ofcourse it is your dish if you eat it but if it is for content which it is then it is for consumers eyes only and it doesn't look tasty but disgusting to my eyes.
