Gravadlax Salad

Some people think that gravadlax is a smoked fish.  In actual fact gravadlax is essentially a raw, cured salmon with Scandinavian origins.  Our recipe uses dill, oranges, wine and all sorts to create an equisite taste. 

If you feel a Russian influence coming on then substitute our Mackenzies Gravadlax for Mackenzies Russian Gravadlax which has the added flavour of fresh beetroot. Serve with a small glass of chilled vodka!
