HOW TO MAKE LOX (EASY SALMON LOX RECIPE)

Steps:

• Rinse the salmon fillet under cold water. Pat dry.

SHALOM JAPAN'S LOX BOWL

Steps:

• Prepare the sushi zu: Combine the vinegar, sugar, salt and kombu (if using) in a pint-size plastic container. Stir to combine, put a lid on it, then let sit at room temperature before using. (The mixture mellows with time and is best prepared a few hours in advance.)
• While the sushi zu sits, prepare the sweet kombu: Add the kombu to a medium saucepan and cover with water by a couple of inches. Bring to a boil over high. Once the water comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and cook until the kombu is tender, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the chile mayo: In a small bowl, stir together the mayo, Sriracha and vinegar. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• After the kombu has simmered until tender, drain it, pat it dry, then cut it into very thin, 1-inch-long strips. Return the kombu to the saucepan. Add the soy sauce, mirin and sugar, and cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the liquid reduces slightly, about 5 minutes. Let cool, transfer kombu and liquid to a lidded container, and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
• Prepare the rice: Place the rice in a medium bowl. Cover with several inches of cold water, swirl the rice vigorously using your hand, then pour off the cloudy water. Repeat two or three more times until the water still looks milky but is more transparent. Drain the rice and transfer to a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid. (A heavy-duty, enamel-coated cast-iron pot is ideal, because it distributes heat evenly.) Add 2 cups water, cover with the lid, and bring to a boil over high heat, which should take about 5 minutes. Once it boils, reduce the heat to low and cook for exactly 10 minutes. Turn the heat off, but do not remove the lid. Let sit, covered, for 10 minutes. (Alternately, you can cook the rice in a rice cooker according to manufacturer's instructions.)
• While the rice cooks, prep the garnishes and measure 6 tablespoons sushi zu. (Store the remaining sushi zu at room temperature for future use for up to 1 year.) As soon as the rice is cooked, dump it into a large mixing bowl and pour the 6 tablespoons sushi zu on top. Using a rice paddle or the back of a wooden spoon, gently break up the rice with a cutting and folding motion, delicately coating the grains with sushi zu.
• Divide the rice evenly among four shallow bowls and cover it with an even layer of lox. Using a squeeze bottle, piping bag or a spoon, drizzle the chile mayo over the lox.
• Arrange the selected garnishes in clockwise clusters: First, the avocado, then the sweet kombu, followed by the cucumbers and pickles. Sprinkle the capers and cilantro around the rim, and place the scallions in the center. Set the ikura (if using) in a nice mound next to the scallions, and sprinkle the nori on top.

L.E.O. (LOX AND EGGS AND ONIONS)

Steps:

• Cut the onion in half, then slice thinly. In a large saute pan, heat the oil over high heat, then saute the onions until lightly colored. In a bowl, beat eggs with a fork, then add to the pan. When the eggs have set on the bottom, scramble in the lox and flip over. Cook and scramble until just set.

HOMEMADE LOX

Steps:

• Rinse salmon with water; pat dry with paper towels.
• Mix salt and sugar together in a bowl. Lay out a piece of plastic wrap. Pour half of the salt mixture onto the plastic wrap; lay salmon on top. Cover salmon with remaining salt mixture.
• Fold plastic wrap around salmon until secure; wrap a second layer of plastic wrap around salmon. Transfer to a 9x9-inch baking pan; cover with an 8x8-inch baking pan. Place a heavy object onto the smaller baking pan to weigh salmon down. Cure in the refrigerator until salmon's surface becomes silky, about 48 hours.
• Combine water and ice in a bowl. Mix water and 3 drops liquid smoke together in a bowl. Place salmon into liquid smoke mixture to rinse. Submerge into ice bath for 30 minutes. Repeat rinsing and submerging 2 more times, adding 3 drops of liquid smoke to the rinse water each time.
• Dry salmon with paper towels. Cut with a sharp knife staring from the thin edge of the salmon and cutting toward the thick edge.

LATKES WITH LOX

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first 5 ingredients. Stir in eggs until blended. Add potatoes; toss to coat., Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Drop batter by 1/4 cupfuls into oil; press lightly to flatten. Fry in batches until golden brown on both sides, using remaining oil as needed. Drain on paper towels. Serve with lox; top with sour cream and chives if desired.
