  Gravlax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gravlax (Swedish), also known as Gravad laks (Danish), Gravlaks (Norwegian), Graavilohi (Finnish), and Graflax (Icelandic) is a Scandinavian appetizer consisting of thin sashimi-like slices of salmon cured in salt, sugar and dill.
Gravlax is traditionally served with a dill and mustard sauce and crisp bread.
During the Middle Ages, gravlax was made by fishermen by salting the salmon and lightly fermenting it by burying it in the sand above the high-tide line.
