I might be risking a mass revolt here… but I don’t like smoked salmon all that much.

Yes, before you ask, I have tried it in many ways and on a number of occasions and it just doesn’t do it for me. I’ll probably be run out of town now, as I live in an area that is famous for its salmon products, especially its smoked salmon.

I do however love this salt-cured low-carb salmon, or gravlax. You can use it in all the ways that you would normally use smoked salmon (in Savory Salmon Fat Bombs, Keto Omelet Wrap with Salmon & Avocado or Keto Salmon & Cream Cheese Mug Muffin).

It’s particularly good to make up for a keto dinner party or brunch when you really want to impress. Can you imagine casually passing around a platter of your own cured salmon? And nobody will ever know that the hardest part of the process is waiting for a couple of days before you can pop a thinly sliced morsel of it in your mouth.

You can play with the herbs and flavours as much as you like, once you get the hang of the process.
