Homeade lox - anyone have thoughts on healthiness of it?

[NikkiACGW]

Can anyone tell me the nutritional content of lox? I love to make homeade lox (salmon that's been cured, or gravlox) and although it's salty, I am hoping that it's healthy. Does anyone know?


TIA, Nikki

The Good
This food is a good source of Niacin, Vitamin B6 and Phosphorus, and a very good source of Protein, Vitamin B12 and Selenium.

The Bad
This food is very high in Sodium.


Homemade would probably be less sodium than commerical lox.. but the calories in the salmon should be abouot the same -
