Graavilohi
Finnish salmon cured with coarse sea salt, sugar and fresh dill.
About Graavilohi
Graavilohi is Finnish salt-cured salmon, commonly prepared for festive and buffet tables. This profile follows K-Ruoka's compact version with coarse sea salt, sugar and fresh dill, while keeping its lemon garnish outside the cured fish itself.
Salmon supplies a rich, clean marine flavour that is sharpened by sea salt and rounded by a small amount of sugar. Fresh dill gives the cure its cool, grassy aroma.
The finished salmon is firm yet silky, with translucent coral slices edged by green flecks of dill. It is moist and supple rather than cooked or flaky.
