- Shopping for Lox:
- Both traditional lox and cold-smoked salmon will work in this recipe.
- You're looking for cold-smoked salmon, which is brightly colored, partially translucent, thinly shaved pieces of salmon.
- For this recipe, skip the hot-smoked salmon, which is plumper, opaque, and looks like a cooked fillet of salmon.
- You'll find lox in the refrigerated seafood area in the grocery store.
