Salmon Lox Recipe. Make Your Own Bagels And Lox For Sunday Brunch.

"This easy salmon lox recipe is the classic cured salmon recipe. Homemade salmon lox takes 6 simple ingredients and tastes better than any store-bought cured salmon lox! Bagels and lox are a brunch favorite in my house and with this recipe, they will be popular in your home too. To make salmon lox choose a filet piece of salmon that comes from the belly or the salty, fatty middle section of the fish. Atlantic salmon, sockeye salmon or king salmon are all great to use when you want to make your own homemade lox. I look for salmon that is wild and sustainably caught and I avoid fish that is marked as ‘colors added’."

For those who are looking to expand their brunch repertoire, we suggest trying your hand at making homemade bagels to go with your lox.

We have a simple recipe that walks you through the process step by step, so don't be intimidated if you've never made bagels before.

If you're a fan of the flavors in the Salmon Lox Recipe but want to switch things up a bit, we recommend trying your hand at gravlax. This Scandinavian dish is very similar to lox but is cured with a mixture of salt, sugar, and dill, giving it a slightly different flavor profile. Pair your homemade gravlax with some rye bread and mustard sauce for a delicious twist on your usual brunch spread.

For those who want to experiment with different ways of enjoying smoked salmon, we suggest trying a smoked salmon and avocado toast. Simply toast some whole grain bread, top it with sliced avocado, smoked salmon, and a sprinkle of lemon juice and black pepper for a quick and delicious breakfast or brunch option.
