This vibrant beetroot-cured lox is a show-stopping addition to any brunch table or celebration platter. The earthy sweetness of the grated beetroot combined with the gentle heat of fresh horseradish creates a deep, complex flavour and a stunning magenta border around each slice. As a heart-healthy dish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, it offers a sophisticated alternative to shop-bought smoked fish that is surprisingly simple to prepare at home.
Requiring just a handful of fresh ingredients and a few days of patience, this curing method transforms a standard salmon fillet into a delicate, melt-in-the-mouth delicacy. Serve it thinly sliced on dark rye bread with a dollop of soured cream, or alongside poached eggs for a nutritious, high-protein breakfast that looks as good as it tastes.

Ingredients for Beet Cured Lox
240ml freshly grated horseradish
900ml grated beet (about 3 medium beets)
200g kosher salt
50g granulated sugar
675g skin-on salmon filet
1 bunch dill
How to make Beet Cured Lox
Grate beets and horseradish and mix together. Mix salt and sugar then spread generously on salmon filet. Spread beet and horseradish mixture on top of that. Scatter dill sprigs over the top, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until cured, about 3 days.
When salmon feels firm, after about 3 days, remove toppings and discard. Gently rinse filet of remaining salt and sugar and pat dry. Slice very thinly to serve.
