smoked salmon

Bagel topper, pink

Smoked salmon is salmon that has been cured and exposed to smoke, giving it a distinctive salty, savory flavor and silky texture.

It appears on bagels with cream cheese, in salads, or as an appetizer.

Cold-smoked salmon (like lox) remains translucent and tender; hot-smoked salmon is firmer and flakier.
