And yet 2 days later: perfect gravlax and never ate any store bought lox and the taste is DIVINE !! A win win!!

Hi Johnny! Thank you for your kind words ❤️ You are right: it’s super easy and delicious!! Let me know if you try it and or need any help!! Chag Sameach
Of course I am late to this party. I made some before watching this video. It was a little extra salty ( I used some table salt) I did rinse it off well but made not enough. This is one of my favorite foods peppered any way. The texture was great due to a power outage I left it in for an extra day next time I’m following your directions. Thank you
Thank you Poppy for the warning which is specially true for raw meat. Since all fish come frozen at the store and then defrosted/thawed ( unless you live next to a port/river with salmon and your salmon is fresh) I have always frozen my gravlox after curing it and Thank G.od because the cured acts like cooking, we never had any issues BH!
Hello Daniela❤️❤️❤️ I am so happy this inspires help you! Please let me know if you have questions: I would love to help🥰🥰🥰 Stay safe and blessed my sweet friend!
We made it : it was sooo much better than the store bought. Even our picky eaters loved it! Do you think a bit of vodka would help to infuse the taste of the herbs? Thank you again!
yeahhhhh! that makes me sooooo happy to hear that you enjoyed it, even your picky eaters! you are absolutely right: vodka will hep infuse the fish. We do not use it because it is a bit too much for our little ones! if you do it with vodka : please let me know how it turns out! take care of you Prof Michel :)
Good morning Elana! Salt and sugar then you add the spices you want. I love using pickling spice mix ( you find it pre-made at the grocery): it is coriander, dill, pepper corn, bay leaves a bit of chili flakes ! We love the brand Prima ( not sponsored lol! here's a link to their product www.google.com/search?q=prima+pickling+spice&rlz=1C5CHFA_enCA910CA910&sxsrf=ALeKk00zxy4xy9IQx09xZ8zEFnHiD0DkRA:1618312075009&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiJ7_aiivvvAhVaQ80KHb9RAZ8Q_AUoAnoECAEQBA&biw=2014&bih=1045&dpr=2#imgrc=ytIGYjUjESHpsM) Let me know if you have any further questions! I cannot wait to see and hear how the lox came out! stay safe, blessed and healthy sweet Elana :)
Buying a whole salmon is awesome to do Gravlox! WHat will be your type of seasoning for the Gravlox Poppy? Only dill, sugar and salt or you will get creative? ( my money is that you will be creative!! ). Let me know if I can help you!
awww thank you so much Andrea! what is your favourite to enjoy your gravlax? Salad? bagel? gravlax platter? For me it is bagel ;) (I know, not the wiser choice but perhaps the yummier? what do you think?) I am curious to know whats your fav! Stay safe and blessed sweet Andrea and pleas do not hesitate to let me know if you need any help!
@@andreaantoniou_ thank you for your kind words and anytime you can drop by and we can chit chat about Paris while eating a good bagel and lox :) I am your girl!
Might be nitpicking but it is spelled grav in Swedish not grav and salmon is lax. One tip, use the stalks of the dill under the salmon during the curing and the rest of the dill to top the same after removing the curing is washed off.
I have been trying this recipe, and although it is tasty, it keeps coming out more like salmon jerkey than deli lox. However, I have been using frozen, small salmon filets. Is it the quality and size of the cut of salmon that's the problem? I might be using too much salt and sugar for the size of the filets.
Okay I don't know what I did wrong but I used this EXACT recipe and it was inedible. The salt was just horrible. I had a 2lb actually 2.2 lb piece of fresh salmon bought from a local fish market and used the 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/cup of salt and oh lord it was just horrible. I have no idea why this was because almost every video I've seen calls for the same amount of sugar/salt
Ohhhhh noooooo mike!!! I did this recipe so many times and it as never turned bad!! I feel soooo bad! May I ask you : did you use coarse sea salt ? After the brining did you remove everything? Please let me know : I want to help!
@@frumitup Oh thank you so much! I think I might have left it too long? I don't know. I used 1/2 cup of coarse kosher salt, 1/2 cup of organic sugar (not brown though) a bit of pepper and the dill. I wrapped it up tightly, put some weight on it and left it for 3 days. Maybe that was too long? I've seen some videos as short as 24 hours. I just can't understand why since almost every video suggests the same recipe. 🤣 I might try again but with a smaller piece of fish.
@@mikeberg5003 i feel really bad for you Mike:( Yes we all use the same proportions for doing lox. Maybe it was left too long but I have the feeling maybe since you put a bit of dill maybe also it is a factor as dill is a major factor to absorb also part of the salt and avoid for it to go in the fish. Again I feel so bad that is didn’t work. Please let me know how I can help!
@@mikeberg5003 the longer you leave it the saltier it will get. Also the thickness of the salmon matters e.g. the thinner it is the faster it is cured.
Hello my friend I am so sorry for the delay in my answer I was so busy between the family and work but here I am so I am using Atlantic salmon to make this recipe I hope that it helps and please let me know if you have other questions until next time sending you virtual hugs
Wow. It never occurred to me that I could just lay the plastic wrap into the container and then pure the cure on the bottom before placing the salmon. That's not be me being sarcastic BTW, I just am that much of a dumbass.
Hi Sven! Thank you for your comment : I guess I got on your nerve with saying sal-mon instead of Sa-mon like an American/ native English speaker: I am sorry about that.

So many unassuming silent letters in English. It's got to be a minefield for a non-native speaker. Especially with so many dialects on top of it already being a little extra. I noticed the same thing with herb, which, at least in American pronunciation, is spoken without the h sound, so "erb".

Just for people to know: do not refreeze if the piece was frozen in the first place.
Thank you Poppy for the warning which is specially true for raw meat. Since all fish come frozen at the store and then defrosted/thawed ( unless you live next to a port/river with salmon and your salmon is fresh) I have always frozen my gravlox after curing it and Thank G.od because the cured acts like cooking, we never had any issues BH!
@@frumitup I have had a really bad food poisoning 12 year ago. Yeahhh I don't want to experience this ever.
@@Poppy- I absolutely understand!! Happy it only happened once!!❤️
Salmon has to be frozen to kill parasites. Just using fresh salmon, the salt does not kill it, fyi
Can you tell me why refreezing is bag? Would double freezing mean extra safe?
Wow… i never knew this is so easy to make!!! I will give it a try. So thankful for your channel 😀
Hello Daniela❤️❤️❤️ I am so happy this inspires help you!

Awesome recipe, even better than mine. I will be using this one from now on :o)
Awesome, thanks.
Making your recipe today, I hope it turns out well! :)

for me the key is draining the water every day and rinsing it off once cured:) please let me know if you need help!
Thank you!

Dear Sara Malka, what spices did you put into the gravlax besides sugar and salt
Good morning Elana!
Salt and sugar then you add the spices you want. I love using pickling spice mix ( you find it pre-made at the grocery): it is coriander, dill, pepper corn, bay leaves a bit of chili flakes !

I cannot wait to see and hear how the lox came out!
stay safe, blessed and healthy sweet Elana :)
🤤🥯 Since I'm looking to buy a whole salmon (wild one in safer for me, no grain feed) this will be better too. Full control of the seasoning
Buying a whole salmon is awesome to do Gravlox! WHat will be your type of seasoning for the Gravlox Poppy? Only dill, sugar and salt or you will get creative? ( my money is that you will be creative!! ). Let me know if I can help you!
@@frumitup lol DILL all the way 🤭 it's like capers: never enough.
@@Poppy- absolutely true!!! DIIIIILLLLL and capers: here we come!!!
@@frumitup next video: marinating capers or pickles?
This looks soo yummy 🤤

Simple way. Thank you.
thank you!
Does it taste good without the sugar?
Do you freeze it sliced or whole?
Can the skin be used in any way, so it is not wasted? Baked, broiled, pan cooked? Just wondering.
Todah Rabah! Is it better to smoke lox before or after curing??!!!
👍👍👍😘
Might be nitpicking but it is spelled grav in Swedish not grav and salmon is lax. One tip, use the stalks of the dill under the salmon during the curing and the rest of the dill to top the same after removing the curing is washed off.
Thank you for the tips!
As per the spelling it seems we wrote the same thing gravlax
You say grav lax
And I wrote gravlax
I have been trying this recipe, and although it is tasty, it keeps coming out more like salmon jerkey than deli lox. However, I have been using frozen, small salmon filets. Is it the quality and size of the cut of salmon that's the problem? I might be using too much salt and sugar for the size of the filets.
Is it really able to be frozen?? I have never heard that before. I hope so!
Hi! Absolutely! It freezes like a charm and it is good for 6 months in the freezer!
@@frumitup Thanks!
❤️
THAT REALLY IS A LOT OF DILL. ( what’s the big dill ) right
U didn’t give *measurements OR did i miss them?*
Okay I don't know what I did wrong but I used this EXACT recipe and it was inedible. The salt was just horrible. I had a 2lb actually 2.2 lb piece of fresh salmon bought from a local fish market and used the 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/cup of salt and oh lord it was just horrible. I have no idea why this was because almost every video I've seen calls for the same amount of sugar/salt
Ohhhhh noooooo mike!!!

May I ask you : did you use coarse sea salt ?
After the brining did you remove everything?
Please let me know : I want to help!

Has anyone ever tried this with different types of fish? I wonder how it would work with a piece of fatty tuna, monk fish, etc?
I only did it with salmon 🍣
Wow. It never occurred to me that I could just lay the plastic wrap into the container and then pure the cure on the bottom before placing the salmon. That's not be me being sarcastic BTW, I just am that much of a dumbass.

Hi Sven!
Thank you for your comment : I guess I got on your nerve with saying sal-mon instead of Sa-mon like an American/ native English speaker: I am sorry about that.
Let me explain why: English is my 4th language

I also speak other languages where the l is pronounced in salmon so it stayed!
I am sorry again for getting on your nerve: I’ll work on my sa-mon😋
