Gravlax

Gravlax is a traditional Nordic dish made from raw salmon. The salmon is cured using a mixture of salt, sugar, and dill, which preserves the fish and gives it a distinct flavor and texture without cooking with heat.

Gravlax is typically consumed as a prepared food product rather than an additive. It is often served as an appetizer, on bread, or as part of a main meal. Manufacturers produce it as a specialty seafood item.

As a raw fish product, gravlax is subject to general food safety regulations for seafood in the US. The curing process helps preserve the fish, but proper handling is still important. Gravlax can be high in sodium due to the curing salts used. There are no specific FDA GRAS or approved additive statuses for gravlax itself, nor has it been evaluated by JECFA or EFSA as a food additive.
