"This recipe is a personal treasure! The literal translation of the word GRAVLAXSOSA is "smoked (or pickled) salmon sauce". While that is its primary use, its versatility widens its horizons. When I first came to Iceland & tasted this sauce that is used widely across Scandanavia, I was in love for a lifetime. I'd always bought it in commercially prepared jars until I got this recipe. My bet is that you will love it too (Time does not include overnight refrigeration). Enjoy!"

Step by Step Method

Step 1

In a 3 cup or larger bowl, whisk the 1st 8 ingredients to combine.

Step 2

Gradually add olive oil in a stream & whisk to combine well. Add salt & pepper to taste & refrigerate for 24 hours to allow flavors to blend. ... I prefer to use a wide-mouth jar w/screw-on lid plus my immersion blender to make & store this in a single step.

Step 3

Serving simply is the favored presentation - As a bruschetta-type appy where 1/2-in slices of baguette bread or thin-sliced rye bread are buttered (or spread w/cream cheese), topped w/very thinly sliced smoked salmon & then this sauce is spread over the salmon slices. A sprinkle of dry dill or a few tiny capers can be used as an optional garnish.

Step 4

HINT: For never-fail perfect slices of smoked salmon, freeze the salmon to a near frozen state & use your sharpest knife to shave slices as desired.

Tips


  • Immersion blender, if available

Delicious, Twissis! I whipped this up on the spur of the moment because I had everything on hand, but didn't let the sauce meld overnight a suggested. And it was still wonderful! Can't wait to try it in the next few days over some poached or grilled salmon! Made for Best of 2017 on FF&F.

This sure is the real deal!. I love Lox and we have it quite regularly with scrambled eggs bagels etc but this adds a new dimension to it. It's like adding icing on a cake! We loved it, it just gave a finishing touch. I will love this sauce on regular poached salmon or on tilapia - with prawns whatever. It is a multi purpose sauce that will be used often.
