Gravalax is a Scandinavian delicacy where fresh salmon is cured to perfection with a blend of sugar, dill and spices to create a silky texture and rich buttery flavor. It's perfect as an appetizer, for a brunch table and to fill sandwiches.
Making Gravlax combines simplicity and sophistication in every bite you take. It's a great ingredient for appetizers that will fly off the plates. Everyone loves a salmon canape!
