I was pretty darn proud of myself when I first made homemade bagels, but I think this lox tops it. Who knew it was so easy to make you own lox? Now I do! Plus it&rsquo;s so much cheaper than store bought.&nbsp; Salmon curing and saving money all rolled into one- how quintessentially Jewish! Initially I was a little confused at all the lox names out there- smoked salmon, nova lox, gravalox, lox. Are they all the same thing just under different personae a la Beyonce and Sasha Fierce? Or was each its own creation? Turns out I made lox today- gravalox has some herbs incorporated and smoked salmon aka nova lox is smoked after the curing process. Just plain lox is the simplest but also just plain tasty.
