About Lox

Lox is salmon preserved by salt curing and commonly served in thin slices. The name is used for a cured salmon preparation; it should not be generalized to fresh salmon or assumed to mean smoked salmon.

The slices are moist and tender, with a salty, savoury flavour. Curing methods and the degree of moisture can vary, and some products may be smoked, so the preparation should be specified when distinguishing forms.
