- 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.
