Make Your Own Cured Salmon

In this video, I demonstrate how to make lox at home from salmon. Gravlax only takes a few simple ingredients and a couple of days in the fridge. This is a great recipe for a beetroot stained cured salmon that looks really beautiful as an appetizer or spread over cream cheese on a bagel!
