Gravlax with Mustard Sauce
Gravlax is a Nordic dish that consists of thinly sliced smoked salmon, typically served as an appetizer or main course. This recipe pairs the delicate flavor of gravlax with a tangy and creamy mustard sauce, adding a rich and velvety texture to the dish. The combination of flavors and textures creates a truly unique and delightful culinary experience. To prepare the dish, the salmon is cured in a mixture of sugar, salt, and spices, then smoked to perfection. The mustard sauce is made by combining Dijon mustard, sour cream, and dill, adding a bright and refreshing flavor to the dish.
