The recipe to the Swedish classic! This can be purchased at IKEA in the frozen section (along with the gravad lax sauce) but we are making it from our own kitchen- including the gravad lax sauce, a sweet, honey mustard. You must use fresh salmon for this recipe. Don't forget to kiss the chef for making this recipe- this is a delicacy!!
