What is the difference between lox and smoked salmon?

Lox is the type of thinly sliced salmon usually served with bagels. To make lox, salmon is cured with salt or a combination of salt and sugar. Sometimes it is cold smoked as well. Smoked salmon is cured or brined and then hot smoked. It has a drier, flakier texture than lox and a stronger smoked flavor.

Salmon sushi rice bowls bowls are an easy, healthy dinner made from fresh salmon or store-bought lox plus avocado, cucumber and seaweed. Each bowl can be customized so that both kids and adults can eat what they like best.

Sushi rice bowls taste better with cold or room temperature rice, so make sure to give the rice at least 15 minutes to cool before dinner.

Instructions

Fresh Salmon Cooking Instructions

Heat oven to 375 F
Place a large piece of foil on a baking sheet. Set the raw salmon on the foil.
Drizzle olive oil or melted butter over the salmon (about 1 tablespoon for every 1 pound of salmon). Lightly season the salmon with salt.
Fold the sides of the foil up and over the salmon and seal the edges to create a closed packet.
Bake until the salmon easily flakes apart with a fork and is cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes.

Notes

1 cup of uncooked rice will make 2 to 3 cups of cooked rice.
