I finished off the last of my homemade lox this morning. When I went to cure the salmon, I also added fresh dill on the fleshy side of the fish along with a light drizzle of gin. You can do this with just about any herbs you want. You can also add shredded beets to give the lox a really beautiful pink exterior and a more earthy flavor.

I make the bagels (fresh bagels can’t be beat) but I buy the cream cheese and smoked salmon. A little trick I like to do is put the shaved onion and capers right on top of the cream cheese (lightly pressing them in) it’s not as pretty but the capers don’t roll off the top of the bagel.
What I would recommend with the curing of the salmon. In that salt sugar mixture, add a couple drops of liquid smoke to have that smoked cured salmon taste. Use a whisk to make sure it's well combined and no clumps.
Lately I have been wanting a bagel with lox. Now I know why. My wife and I have been watching "Mr and Mrs Smith." At this very moment there is a piece of salmon "curing" in the refrigerator, and a new package of everything bagels is sitting on the counter.
I was never interested in lox _or_ capers till a local cafe near my work at the time suggested lox and bagels to me some years ago. I miss that place, and the people that ran it. They never steered me wrong and were always very kind.
I like an open faced sandwich on a bagel with very little cream cheese, sliced thin shallots, chopped dill under the salmon. To freshen the bagel just toast it abit until its just warm.
Honestly, I'm not even offended as a Philadelphian Jew about the cream cheese. I'm offended the substitute was ricotta when creme fraiche would be a better substitute.
When i was a kid in Illinois in the 70s fresh water smelt were everywhere. Any county fair would have a smelly stand, you’d buy a cup full. The coating was similar, but with pepper. There was a huge drop in smelly population in the 80s, over fishing i guess, so it really stopped.
Okay so I learned how to make lox and bagels and there a Mrs./Mr. Smith tv show. (I was born and live in NYC, but don’t like cream cheese it’s because of food sensory issues.)
Hot take, I watched this channel initially for Babish, moreso than the food, so I really, really prefer these episodes where he does it himself. I don't watch the others, not out of deliberate disrespect, but just because that's not why I became a fan in the first place. Sorry guys.
A very easy cream cheese analog (labneh) can be made by mixing a 1/2 tsp salt through a pint of Greek yogurt, and then hanging over a bowl in a cheese cloth for 24 / 48 hours.
I think it’s fitting that Andrew would use cottage cheese instead of ricotta for lasagna, and then ricotta instead of cream cheese for a bagel. Now we need to see him use cream cheese instead of cottage cheese for some secret third thing and we will have unlocked the Babishian Cheese Triangle
The way you do it is FAR better than the way the show did it. The correct amount of cream cheese is entirely too much cream cheese. Further, lox and bagel should always be served open face. One more complement for you, you added salt into the everything bagel mix. Without salt it is merely a mostly everything mix. Based on this episode I feel comfortable saying that you, unlike far too many others, are not a heathen.

Somtimes it's funny how languages adopt new words. By saying salmon lax you're actually saying salmon salmon😁 Lax or laks beeing the nordic word for salmon, and you making gravlaks (the Norwegian word for the salmon dish).
@@mmoney416 yeah that makes sence. German vocabulary has many more simmilar words to the Nordic languages than English has. Is the word gravlax used in American english or maybe it's mostly used in British English? I think the dish most likely origin in the Nordic countrys. But I wonder then if the dish and names could have entered the English speaking world from the Nordics via German because of the trading several hundred years ago🤔
@@espenschjelderup426Actually, lox is the oldest word still in use today- it’s so old that it came to all these other languages separately from proto-Indo-European, which is the root of most modern European languages. It originally just meant salmon, though, and still does in most languages- the English version of the word meaning cured salmon comes from Yiddish.
@@espenschjelderup426It entered through Jewish immigrants to the US who speak Yiddish. Millions of Yiddish speakers moved to the us around the turn of the century (1880s- late 1920s) and many Yiddish words have made their way into the American English lexicon.
While my mouth is watering and yeah I want one now , one cannot laugh at the irony that Babish took nearly 10 minutes to provide us with a sandwich recipe
You know what would taste great on an everything bagel? Raisin Loaf! Please make a Raisin Loaf from Tromeo and Juliet written and directed by James Gunn!
only thing that could make this better is when you boil them you could be using something way stronger than baking soda. in professional bakeries they might use lye. probably something too dangerous to use at home. but, you can get something closer by baking the baking soda at a low temp for a while and turn it into something a lot stronger than what it was before
You realize that you got through the whole video without mentioning that in the episode, she specifically orders it with scallion cream cheese, plain bagel, and no capers
Re: the bagel twisting, the reason for the different crumb is rolling and twisting strengthens the gluten bond structure this also can result in a chewier bagel
That is it! For a very red piece of smoked salmon.....cure it for three days!! Then smoke it and eat it! Mine always come out delicious but a little gray/pink. 👍
as someone who grew up in NY and now lives out of state I have to ask before ordering if they have real lox or is it just smoked salmon and not a single bagel shop seems to know or care that there not the same thing most looked offended when I said its not lox just curious if others have the same problem
so, I've had this a ton, and I can't really say I like the capers, but it's clearly adding a lot to the dish...is there a substitute that's a little less pungent with a similar flavor profile?
I've always used brad from bon appetits recipe for gravlax to cure the salmon. has a little more flavour. i haven't made it in a while but i think i add a few drops of lemon juice.
You should do a Ben 10 Themed Episode where you make the Deep-Fried Chocolate and Cheeseburger rolled in Rock Candy with Burger Shack's Chili Fries and a Smoothie From Mr. Smoothie
Usually not a fan of raw fish, but that sandwich looked great. How about for one of your future videos, you make Soylent Green from… Soylent Green, based on past videos, we know how (spoiler of the film) taste like.
as a professional bagel baker, i suggest adding the capers on top of the cream cheese as to avoid any mess
When it comes to a beard, there is no avoiding the mess.

That's a pro-tip right there.
As someone who hates capers I recommend removing the capers
We already knew he liked bagels with cream cheese and lox, he just needed an excuse to make it
If anyones wondering, I believe he says it in the Bagel Sandwich episode
I mean, who doesn't like bagels and lox?!
He's from upstate NY and lives in NYC, he's required by law and tradition to like the Works.
What's lox
@@Armehboiwatch the vid, he makes it
Make sure you flip the salmon everyday during curing. It will distribute the brine evenly and the pressure will disperse more evenly too.
Also, you can add a couple of teaspoons of liquid smoke to the salt/sugar to get a smokey note.
I finished off the last of my homemade lox this morning. When I went to cure the salmon, I also added fresh dill on the fleshy side of the fish along with a light drizzle of gin. You can do this with just about any herbs you want. You can also add shredded beets to give the lox a really beautiful pink exterior and a more earthy flavor.
Oooooooohhh yum
The imaginary conversation about cream cheese absolutely slayed me.
It's something that would absolutely happen in my mind and end with ninja neighbors jumping through my kitchen window because I forgot to close the blinds.
There's a _series_ called "Mr. and Mrs. Smith"? I was racking my brain because I didn't remember Brad and Angie doing a scene like this.
Yeah. When it got to the scene I was all "Double you tee eff?"
Its worth watching! The acting is phenomenal in my opinion.
Yeah. I was like "did he got the wrong video?"
I believe that’s not even Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie at all!
It is excellent. Well worth a watch.
As a Jewish new Yorker I fully approve of this. But I'm still gonna wait for the botched with babish episode about the cream cheese

Lox and cream cheese on an everything bagel is literally one of the greatest foods in existence.
I like it on cinnamon raisin

I prefer onion bagels.
Capers gotta go on the bottom so that the cream cheese can cement them to the bagel
He does get to use the New York water to make them extra authentic

I had this for the first time in college at synagogue when I visited the rabbi who taught my Psalms class. This is the only way I eat a bagel.
I love how he makes the food from a TV reference even though it's a big thing where he lives
Your background music is so iconic right now. You know it's babish time when you hear this music
Happy to find out that Babish takes his bagels like I do. Just switch out the everything bagel for a sesame and it's the best breakfast ever.
WAIT WAHT?!

This video is quintessential Babbish, the video style that prompted me to hit the subscribe button years ago. 😊
Yes. Glad they still pop up now and then.
Bagels & Lox always hits the spot. Gonna try your technique for making Lox! Never made it from scratch before.
Quite common to make from scratch here in Sweden. It's a near fail-safe recipie, I make it everytime i find a cheaper piece of salmon.
Please keep making these vids for as long as you have the passion to do so

Homemade cream cheese is actually pretty easy and really doable. All you had to add was some heavy cream, lemon juice and salt.
