A staple of every “smörgåsbord” (Swedish buffet), “gravad lax” is one of Scandinavia’s finest contributions to international cuisine. It is incredibly simple to prepare — just be sure to choose very fresh, high-quality salmon.
You couldn’t ask for a simpler or quicker recipe. And the result is tender, juicy salmon.
As a carnivore, salmon sits relatively high in the food chain and can therefore contain significant levels of heavy metals and other harmful, toxic pollutants. It is, therefore, best consumed in moderation.
In fact, the term “salmon” refers to several species of fish in the Salmonidae family. Those most commonly found on the market are Atlantic salmon (almost exclusively farmed) and four Pacific species: sockeye (also known as red salmon), pink, keta, and coho.
