The famous Fernande behind this gravlax recipe is the mother of our collaborator and nutritionist, Hélène Laurendeau. It was during a trip to Scandinavia in 1965 that the whole family tasted gravlax for the first time. Since then, Fernande’s gravlax has become an annual Christmas tradition. It requires very few ingredients, but you do have to plan ahead, given that it must be marinated for almost two days.
