Fruitwood Salmon

Fruitwood Smoked Salmon: Simple Cure, Clean Smoke

Atlantic salmon cured simply with salt and brown sugar, then smoked with natural fruitwood. Nothing here is trying to compete with the fish: the smoke is clean and gentle, the cure adds just enough sweetness to round out the salt, and the salmon stays rich and silky. This is the straightforward smoked salmon — the one to keep in the fridge when you want something that works with almost anything.

What Makes It Different

• Natural fruitwood smoke. Softer and more delicate than a heavy smoke, so you still taste the salmon first.
• Simple cure. Salt and brown sugar are all it needs to balance the richness of Atlantic salmon.
• No complicated flavoring. No chile, truffle or extra seasoning — just salmon, cure and smoke.
• 12g of protein per serving. A 2 oz serving has 110 calories and 6g of fat.
• 1.1g of omega-3s. Including 616mg of EPA/DHA per serving.

How to Eat It

Take it out of the refrigerator fifteen to twenty minutes before serving. The salmon softens slightly as it warms and the fruitwood smoke becomes more aromatic.

• On a baguette with cream cheese. Still one of the best ways to eat smoked salmon.
• On rye with butter. Dark bread and cold butter keep things simple and let the smoke come through.
• With eggs. Add the salmon after the eggs are cooked so it stays soft and silky.
• On its own. Thin slices, black pepper and a squeeze of lemon are enough.
• On a board. Serve with crackers, cucumbers, capers, soft cheese and pickles.
• To drink. Crisp white wine, sparkling wine or cold vodka.

Keeping It

Keep refrigerated at 38°F or below. Once opened, keep the remaining salmon tightly sealed and refrigerated. Take out only what you plan to serve and return the rest to the refrigerator promptly.
