Gravlax is a Nordic dish made from fresh salmon, cured with salt, sugar, and dill. Originating in Scandinavia, its name comes from the Swedish word "gräva," which means "to dig," a nod to its traditional preparation method where fish was buried to ferment. This delicate, silky seafood is often served thinly sliced as an appetizer, paired with mustard, rye bread, or crisp vegetables. Nutritionally, gravlax is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which promote heart health, brain function, and anti-inflammatory benefits. It also provides high-quality protein and essential vitamins like B12 and D. However, the curing process involves significant amounts of sodium, which may need to be moderated for those mindful of their salt intake. Gravlax is a flavorful, healthy choice when enjoyed in moderation as part of a nutrient-balanced meal.
