Nutritional values

Fat sea fish such as salmon, herring or mackerel should be served regularly: The omega-3 fatty acids it contains have a positive effect on inflammatory processes and cholesterol levels. In addition, the noble sea dweller also has iodine to offer. As an important component of thyroid hormones, iodine is involved in energy metabolism.

Combine this lox with homemade bagels and cream cheese or add to a scramble or omelet.
