How to Make Gravlaxsosa The Real Deal

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, 1 teaspoon honey, 1/2 teaspoon grated horseradish, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup olive oil while whisking constantly until emulsified.
  3. Season with salt to taste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. **To Serve (Appetizer Suggestion):** Toast 1/2-inch slices of baguette. Spread each slice with a thin layer of cream cheese. Top with thinly sliced smoked salmon (for easiest slicing, freeze salmon until almost solid). Spoon Gravlaxsosa generously over the salmon.
  5. (Optional) Garnish with a few tiny capers for a touch of elegance.
  6. **Pro Tip:** Freezing your smoked salmon slightly before slicing ensures perfectly thin, even pieces.
