Keto Friendly Salmon Lox

Salmon lox are usually made from the highest quality sockeye salmon. The salmon is first cured and slow smoked to perfection. This may surprise you when looking at the ingredients panel that many of the salmon lox found in the market today contain sugar. Sugar is generally added to many of today’s foods to enhance the flavor profile making the products more likely to be consumed.

We decided to be a little different with our salmon lox, firstly our lox are made with only premium Wild Canadian Sockeye Salmon and secondly we have made the decision to make a healthier lox by electing to remove the sugar.
