Portion
To burn it off
Gravlax is raw salmon cured for a couple of days in salt, sugar and a lot of dill. It's sliced thin and eaten across Sweden, Norway and Finland, on the Christmas and Easter table and on any Tuesday with rye bread.
A portion is 150 kcal, with 15 g of protein, 9 g of fat and 3 g of carbs. Salmon is an oily fish, and that's where the fat comes from.
The sweet mustard and dill sauce comes on top of that. It's made with oil and sugar, so a big spoonful adds more than you'd guess.
Tips
- 1Have the sauce in a small spoon on the side.
- 2Put it on rye bread or crispbread instead of buttered white bread.
- 3Pile on extra dill and lemon, they cost almost nothing.
