Lox is a thinly sliced salmon that has been cured in a salt brine, often associated with Jewish-American cuisine and traditionally served atop bagels with cream cheese. Originating from the Scandinavian and Eastern European practice of preserving fish, lox offers a rich, savory flavor and velvety texture. While distinct from smoked salmon, which undergoes a smoking process, lox provides similar nutritional benefits, including high-quality protein and omega-3 fatty acids that support heart health and brain function. It’s also a good source of vitamins B12 and D, as well as selenium, an essential mineral. However, lox can be high in sodium due to the curing process, so moderation is advised for individuals mindful of salt intake. Pairing lox with nutrient-rich additions like leafy greens or whole-grain bread can help balance its nutritional profile while complementing its delicious, versatile appeal.
