Lox

Lox is a cured, smoked salmon product that originated from Jewish East European culinary traditions. It involves salting and smoking the salmon, which preserves the fish and imparts a rich, savory flavor. The result is a smooth-textured, pink to orange-colored delicacy commonly enjoyed on bagels with cream cheese, often with capers and onions. Lox differs from smoked salmon in its curing process, offering a distinct taste and texture. It is appreciated for its high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and versatility in various dishes, making it a popular choice for breakfast, brunch, or gourmet appetizers.
