This homemade lox recipe takes some time to prepare, but the investment is well worth it. I prefer my lox without the smoky flavor. Try it once, and see if you agree. Rinse salmon with water; pat dry with paper towels. Lay a piece of plastic wrap onto a flat surface. Mix together kosher salt and sugar in a small bowl.
Nova lox can have two meanings. Sometimes it’s simply lox made with salmon that comes from the Nova Scotia region. It can also mean a combination of using Nova to make a specific style of smoked salmon, where the fish is cured (like this homemade lox recipe) and then lightly smoked afterward. Is lox raw? Is lox cooked?
This is usually achieved by distancing the salmon from the source of smoke either by hanging the salmon in a large smoke-filled tent, or putting the salmon in one of two interconnected chambers with the smouldering wood in the other. Cold smoked salmon is sometimes called Nova Lox. Today I’m going to show you how to make Lox with a dry brine.
To eat, slice thin on a bias, leaving the skin behind. Eat with your favorite cream cheese and bagel, and enjoy. The cured lox freezes very well. Simply wrap well in plastic and place in a freezer bag to keep.
