First time lox

[pc farmer]

Never even tasted lox before, but my wife's grandmother wants some for her Christmas present. So I had to try it.

1:1 salt and brown sugar. Cure for 24 hours. Rinse well then dried in the fridge for 24 hours. 2 three hour cold smoke periods using Italian spice pellets from Todd. Over night again then sliced thin. Packaged in 1.5 oz weights then vac sealed in a big bag.

I think I better sample that. You don’t want grandma to be disappointed for Christmas.

I think I sampled enough while slicing.

Wow, Adam!
Looks great!
I have a Sister-In-Law who was raised Jewish in NYC.
(But that was a long time ago in a Galaxy far, far, away. Now she wants to be a Native American.)
I'd like to try making her some Lox. She seemed to like my smoked Salmon.
But I'd have a long way to go to be Lox worthy, I think.

Thanks. If you have a way to cold smoke, this is easy.

Dang Adam, that is a really nice finish.
Knocking it outta da park.
Me Likey!

Everything's Bagels, Lox, cream cheese, a little roasted tomato and some capers.

 

[SonnyE]

And a question, Do you hand slice? Or use a slicer?
Cold or warm?
I'd like to cut my Salmon nice and beautiful like that.

Love the Italian spice for salmon. I am out of the bag I got so need to reorder some.
Grandmother buys this stuff in the store so it needs to be top notch. Hope it is.

Looks fantastic. Smoked lox is what I serve at Christmas for snacks. Wish my hand could slice my smoked lox that thin.

I sliced this on that slicer I bought from you. Done pretty good huh?

 

[daveomak]

Adam.... I use cure#1 when I do salmon... try it ... recommended 200 Ppm... No change in flavor at all...
