lewasser Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I am brand new and start date in 2 days. I am in the getting ready phase. I already went to WF this morning to be told they carry no smoked salmon without sugar. Does anyone have suggestions of where to buy this? I do not eat meat or poultry - so I know I will salmon will be a staple for me. I know I can make my own, but likely won't.. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted March 2, 2016 Moderators Share Posted March 2, 2016 Smoked salmon that is compliant is even harder to find than compliant bacon. Why do you need the salmon to be smoked? You can eat tinned and fresh salmon, which are significantly easier to find. That said, my whole foods in Vancouver BC carries compliant lox, which is cured and not smoked... for pretty cheap (comparatively) I can get the trim ends (ugly but tasty) from the packages they make that look nice... try looking for that?

Kellobean Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I actually found compliant smoked salmon at Hy-Vee! It's the store brand. Hopefully you have one nearby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get mine from there for my salmon breakfast scrambles. Pricey, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGinDC Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I actually just bought compliant smoked salmon at WF yesterday. I believe it was store brand - only salmon and salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodo Bird Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 You can make gravlax at home: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/homemade-gravlax/#axzz42ttvQeRW This is just cured salmon, no smoking involved. When you omit the sugar, just be careful about the amount of salt so it doesn't get too tough/salty. You might want to rinse it under cold water once it's done curing (and pat dry after) - I made this with a different recipe that called for rinsing. It's surprisingly easy and way cheaper per pound than buying lox or gravlax in the store - fresh wild salmon is half the price per pound than lox or gravlax where I am ($10-15/lb vs $20-30/lb).
