Classic Lox Recipe
Lox and bagels are a classic New York brunch dish that’s now enjoyed around the world. But in general, the fish sitting atop the bagel is actually smoked salmon, not true lox, which is seasoned, salted, and dill-cured salmon rather than smoked. The curing process of lox is easier and quicker because the salmon isn’t smoked, and the result is a sweet, tasty, and tender slice of salmon.
