Gravlax is salmon cured with salt, sugar and usually dill or other aromatics. Prepared gravlax is firm yet supple, with a rich fish flavour and concentrated seasoning. It is distinct from smoked salmon; select a ready-to-eat product with a clear specification.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Gravlax?
Balance salinity with fresh watery vegetables, lactic tang, measured pickle acidity or toasted cereal sweetness. Keep aromatic ingredients recognizable and avoid adding salt automatically. For warm bases, add the fish at service when the intended result relies on a cold, supple texture.
