Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / March 2005Salmon sauce (gravlax)
Hi there, Does anyone know where to find nutritional info for Gravlax (salmon sauce, dill & mustard sauce). It's a Swedish product, found the manufacturers website (Druvan) but it's all in Swedish & there doesn't seem to be any nutrition info. All Google matches seem to be for recipes, I want info about the ready-made, commercial version. Many thanks > Hi there, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Many thanks If you can't find the info on the commercial brand I would compare the ingredients to one of the recipes and try to get a rough estimate. Of course you won't know the amount used but it might be close. > Hi there, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Many thanks Here's a recipe with accompanying nutritional information: http://seafood.allrecipes.com/az/Grvlx.asp  Signaturejmk in NC > Hi there, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Many thanks Gravlax is not a sauce; it is preserved salmon. Gravlax is fresh salmon preserved with salt, sugar and aquavit or vodka, seasoned with dill weed. It's delicious but very high in salt so eat sparingly. Martha > Gravlax is not a sauce; it is preserved salmon. Gravlax is fresh salmon > preserved with salt, sugar and aquavit or vodka, seasoned with dill > weed. It's delicious but very high in salt so eat sparingly. I have a jar here labelled 'Gravlaxsas". A picture of the very same product I've got can be seen on the manufacturer's site: http://www.druvan.com/images/bildbank/liten%20jpg/580005_low.jpg Unfortunately the site is all in Swedish & there doesn't seem to be anything that looks remotely like nutritional info. The label does list the ingredients in English as: mustard, vegetable oil, water, sugar, wine vinegar, dill, stabiliser, aroma, spices but doesn't say how many calories, grams of fat, carbs, protein, etc. the product contains. It's a very tasty sauce for salmon, I know the stuff you mean, they sell it under the name 'Gravadlax' & it's just as you say, preserved salmon, however, there's also a sauce with a similar name. The one common ingredient both the sauce & preserved salmon share is dill weed, I'm not fluent in Swedish & have no idea what the word 'grav' could mean, I know 'lax' means salmon. > > Gravlax is not a sauce; it is preserved salmon.

The word "Gravlaxsas" means gravlax sauce. You mustn't leave the "sas" off. I speak Norwegian and Swedish is close enough. :) Martha > Ah, then your original post had the wrong name.

You mustn't leave the "sas" off. > > I speak Norwegian and Swedish is close enough. :) Oh, so my guess is 'sas', with some kind of accent mark on the 'a' that I can't reproduce on my English keyboard, means 'sauce'. I once went to a beautiful Norwegian village called a-i-lofoten, the 'a' also had the accent mark on top & I think it was pronounced similar to the 'au' in sauce.

In supermarkets, the preserved salmon that Martha mentioned is sold as 'gravadlax', it's a kind of smoked salmon with a dill sauce, similar to the sauce I was enquiring about. I guess 'gravlax sauce' translates just as 'salmon sauce', which is what it is... Thanks to Janice's post, the mystery has been solved. >Hi there, > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >nutrition info.

They sell something here in the UK which we call gravadlax, which I think is the fish itself rather than a sauce. I looked in my bible of UK calorie contents and it showed 176 calories per 100g (19.9g prorein, 6.5g carb, 7.8g fat). This is for a supermarket's own brand version, but I guess it would all be quite similar. janice > They sell something here in the UK which we call gravadlax, which I > think is the fish itself rather than a sauce. Gravadlax is the salmon prepared with a dill-based sauce, I've seen a couple of slightly different versions of it. > I looked in my bible of UK calorie contents and it showed 176 calories > per 100g (19.9g prorein, 6.5g carb, 7.8g fat).

It's actually been a pleasant surprise to see the low fat & high protein content, I was afraid the thing would turn out to be as high in fat & calories as mayo. |
