Nova style salmon
Noun: - A specific preparation of salmon involving a brine-cure that is characteristically less salty than other cured salmon varieties, often incorporating sugar in the curing process. It refers to the finished food product itself.
This term is used as a countable or uncountable noun to refer to the prepared fish. - I'll have a bagel with cream cheese and nova style salmon. - Nova style salmon is a popular choice for a light breakfast.
The term is often shortened informally to "nova" in culinary contexts. - Would you like lox or nova on your bagel? (Here, "lox" typically refers to a saltier cured salmon, while "nova" refers to the milder, less salty style).
- Nova salmon: A common shortened form.
- Nova lox: A hybrid term sometimes used, though "lox" traditionally denotes a different curing method.
- Brine-cured salmon: The general category to which it belongs.
- Cold-smoked salmon: A related product; nova style salmon is often cold-smoked after curing, but the defining characteristic is the mild brine cure.
- Nova: (Informal abbreviation)
- Mild-cured salmon: (Descriptive synonym)
This term specifically denotes a style of preparation (a mild brine cure, often with sugar) rather than a different species of fish. It is distinct from: - Lox: Traditionally salmon cured in a salt brine, typically saltier. - Gravlax: Salmon cured with salt, sugar, and dill. The "nova" in the name historically refers to Nova Scotia, which was a major source of this style of salmon.
