Norwegian Gravadlax Salmon — OKAY

Munch or Dump rates Norwegian Gravadlax Salmon by OceanSea OKAY — score 62/90.

A genuinely traditional Scandinavian cure: salmon, salt, sugar, dill — no nitrites, no preservatives, no gums. The catch is that curing means serious sodium from two salt sources, plus a bit of sugar and refined oil in the mustard sauce. Quality protein with a salt tax: balanced, not saintly.

Why this verdict

• Salmon is the first and dominant ingredient — high-quality protein and omega-3 fats
• Authentic gravadlax cure (salt + sugar + dill) with no nitrites, preservatives or stabilizers
• Two salt sources (salt and iodised salt) — cured fish is inherently sodium-heavy
• Added sugar and refined rapeseed oil ride along in the cure and mustard sauce
• Short, fully recognizable ingredient list — nothing a Scandinavian grandmother wouldn't use
