    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the best way to eat smoked salmon?

    How do you keep smoked salmon from drying out?

    Salmon must be preserved in a simple brine to provide flavour and keep it moist and delicate. Just brown sugar and kosher salt make up this dry brine. The salmon and smoke flavours will be enhanced, and some moisture will be drained away.

    Omega-3 fatty acids, which can reduce inflammation, maintain brain structure and function, and lower triglycerides, are especially abundant in smoked salmon. By bringing the level of omega-6 fatty acids in your blood into balance, omega-3 fatty acids can also help prevent heart disease.
