I always love to explore new and better ways to do things, so I have to thank my sponsor Chromebook for lending a hand in the creative department for this video. Both of these recipes are absolute rockstars to make for an occasion or a simple deliciously thought of snack during the day! Hope you guys enjoy the recipes and let’s get started!
Homemade Lox means one satisfying breakfast ahead! Bagels and lox are my go-to, but really lox can be served any way you wish!
The process of curing the salmon is an simple process that takes little effort, combined with a some down time. The fish takes about a day to properly cure, so I always make this ahead of time for a special occasion, like a brunch. Everyone really appreciates the effort, and in actuality it takes very little prep time.
Start with a 14-16 oz of Salmon, preferably Loch Duart.
Finely chop a bunch of fennel fronds, dill, and tarragon.
Coat the Salmon in the chopped herbs.
Give it a good rub…
…and be sure to coat both sides.
In a separate bowl, add 1/2 cup of sugar…
…and 1/2 a cup of salt.
Give it a good mix.
Coat the Salmon filet thoroughly.
Give it a good rub…
…on both sides.
Cover with plastic and let it sit overnight or for a least 12-24 hours.
The longer it sits, the saltier it gets.
Now it’s cured.
Rinse off the excess salt & sugar.
Pat dry the fillet.
The Homemade Lox are now ready to serve—however you desire!
