About the Fish: Smoked Salmon
Biology:Our Smoked Salmon (Salmo salar) is a cold-water fish found in the North Atlantic Ocean, caught off the coast of Iceland.
Taste & Texture: Smoked salmon has a rich, savory flavor with a delicate, silky texture. The smoking process imparts a distinctive smoky aroma and taste, enhancing the natural richness of the fish. Smoked salmon is an excellent source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins B6 and B12, vitamin D, and minerals like selenium.
Cooking: Smoked salmon is typically enjoyed cold and ready to eat. It can be used in a variety of dishes, including bagels with cream cheese, salads, pastas, and canapés.
Sustainability: Nordic Catch Hot Smoked Salmon is sustainably-caught and shipped fresh, never frozen to your doorstep. Fishing stocks in Iceland are constantly monitored to avoid overfishing and nearly all of our Icelandic salmon are caught via longline.

Immediately add the lime juice to minimize oxidation.
Add the rest of the guacamole ingredients to the avocado mixture and stir to combine.
