Salted Lox

Tweet

My hubby really enjoys getting some fresh salmon when it is on sale. He then takes the salmon and pulls out all of the bones. Afterwards he puts the lox which has been divided in half and each half into two pieces skin side down in a loaf form glass dish. He sprinkles salt with pepper or lemon pepper over each piece and puts the pieces together one on top of the other. The pieces then get weighed down and after a number of hours the lox is ready to eat. Slice thin and put on crackers, toast or bread. It is really good. Tonight my hubby was having some on toast and placed the toast on a dish. Our cat Sid quickly took a sniff and started to eat some of the lox. I just couldn’t believe it because it is salty but tasty. Anyway you should have seen him drinking water afterwards. Usually when he discovers something he thinks he likes but it doesn’t really agree with him he never eats it again. I wonder if he’ll ever try this kind of lox again. I almost forgot to mention that you can make it as salty as you like because it is the salt that “cooks” the lox and it is also great once you put it on a cracker or toast if you sprinkle on some lemon juice.
