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.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

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.

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.
