HOMEMADE LOX



Homemade Lox image

You can make your own lox at home. It takes some time, but the investment is well worth it. I prefer my lox without the smoke flavor. Try it once and see if you agree.

Time P2DT1h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound salmon fillet, bones removed
½ cup kosher salt
½ cup white sugar
9 drops liquid smoke flavoring

Steps:

  • Rinse salmon with water; pat dry with paper towels.
  • Mix salt and sugar together in a bowl. Lay out a piece of plastic wrap. Pour half of the salt mixture onto the plastic wrap; lay salmon on top. Cover salmon with remaining salt mixture.
  • Fold plastic wrap around salmon until secure; wrap a second layer of plastic wrap around salmon. Transfer to a 9x9-inch baking pan; cover with an 8x8-inch baking pan. Place a heavy object onto the smaller baking pan to weigh salmon down. Cure in the refrigerator until salmon's surface becomes silky, about 48 hours.
  • Combine water and ice in a bowl. Mix water and 3 drops liquid smoke together in a bowl. Place salmon into liquid smoke mixture to rinse. Submerge into ice bath for 30 minutes. Repeat rinsing and submerging 2 more times, adding 3 drops of liquid smoke to the rinse water each time.
  • Dry salmon with paper towels. Cut with a sharp knife staring from the thin edge of the salmon and cutting toward the thick edge.

FRIDGE LOX



Fridge Lox image

One of the cool things about cooking cheater barbecue is the thought that something is going on inside that slow cooker or behind the oven door while you're off doing something else. The same is true with making lox in the fridge. Our method is just a simple take on classic cold smoking with a little bottled smoke. The fish "cooks" in sugar and salt and cold-smokes in the fridge. Three days later, like magic, you're in lox. Serve with toasted bagels and cream cheese or dark rye bread with chopped hard-cooked egg, capers, and red onion.

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup kosher salt
1 tablespoon bottled smoke
1 pound very fresh salmon fillet with or without skin, rinsed and patted dry
1 bunch fresh dill (optional)

Steps:

  • COMBINE the sugar, salt, and bottled smoke in a small bowl and blend into a paste.
  • LAY the salmon (skin side down) on a piece of plastic wrap large enough to completely seal the fish. Spread the paste over the fish. Top with the dill, if using.
  • SEAL the fish tightly in the plastic wrap and set it in a dish that will catch the juices.
  • PLACE a clean, foil-wrapped brick on top of the fish and refrigerate. The lox will be smoked and cured in three days.
  • UNWRAP the fish and discard the dill. Transfer the fish to a board and thinly slice on the diagonal with a sharp knife.
