Short facts : Can be hot or cold smoked

Smoked salmon is a type of seafood that has been cured and smoked, resulting in a flavourful and slightly salty taste. It is typically made from salmon fillets that have been brined with a mixture of salt, sugar, and sometimes herbs or spices before being smoked. The smoking process can vary, with some methods involving hot smoking for a shorter period of time and others using cold smoking for a longer duration. Smoked salmon is often enjoyed as a delicacy on its own, in sandwiches, salads or as a topping for dishes like bagels with cream cheese. It is known for its rich, buttery texture and distinct smoky flavour.
