What Is Gravlax?

Gravlax is a Nordic dish made from cured salmon (Salmo salar). It has a delicate, mild flavor with a slightly sweet and aromatic undertone and a silky and tender texture, making it a luxurious treat.

Gravlax is not cooked in the traditional sense but is cured over several days. The curing process involves coating the salmon in a mixture of salt, sugar, and dill, then allowing it to cure in the refrigerator. This method preserves the fish and infuses it with flavor, resulting in a dish that is typically served thinly sliced.

Cooking: Salmon is highly versatile in the kitchen and can be prepared through baking, grilling, smoking, or pan-searing. Its firm texture and rich oil content make it suitable for a wide range of cooking techniques.

Sustainability: Nordic Catch Salmon is sourced sustainably and delivered fresh, never frozen. The fishing practices in Iceland are carefully monitored to prevent overfishing, with most of the salmon being caught using longline methods.
