What is a lox?

Lox is a popular Jewish-style salmon dish, typically served as a topping on a bagel along with cream cheese, onion, capers, and sometimes tomatoes. The word "lox" is short for "lox salmon," which refers to salmon that has been brined in a mixture of salt, sugar, and other seasonings. This process results in a rich and flavorful salmon that is often eaten as a breakfast or brunch food.
