About Gravad lax

Gravad Lax is a Scandinavian delicacy made from salmon, traditionally cured with a mixture of salt, sugar, and fresh dill. This curing process preserves the fish while infusing it with fresh, aromatic flavors. Originating in Nordic cuisine, Gravad Lax is often served thinly sliced alongside mustard sauce, rye bread, or potatoes, showcasing the simplicity and elegance of the region’s culinary traditions. Salmon is a nutrient-rich food, providing high-quality protein and a wealth of omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart and brain health. However, the curing process involves significant salt, potentially making it a less ideal choice for those monitoring sodium intake. Minimal processing and the absence of added fats make Gravad Lax an appealing option for those seeking a flavorful and health-conscious protein source in moderation and as part of a balanced diet.
