Why Gravlax deserves more attention

Gravlax rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The cream-enriched and comforting complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using lingonberry correctly takes real skill.

the smörgåsbord tradition of abundant cold dishes influenced buffet culture worldwide. I encountered it first in a cosy fika café and that context helped me understand it properly. Swedish punsch is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Gravlax is the dish to start with.
