Bagel with Lox from Mr. & Mrs. Smith | Binging with Babish

[@Matrunks]

as a professional bagel baker, i suggest adding the capers on top of the cream cheese as to avoid any mess

[@gschweiger]

When it comes to a beard, there is no avoiding the mess.

[@Spiker985Studios]

​@@gschweiger I have a friend with a near mystic ability to avoid making a mess while eating, including his beard It's actually insane to watch real-time with some of the messiest foods

​@@gschweigerThat's what he said.

As someone who hates capers I recommend removing the capers

What's lox

[@matthewcurtiss7557]

​@@Armehboiwatch the vid, he makes it

[@ridethespiral1219]

Make sure you flip the salmon everyday during curing. It will distribute the brine evenly and the pressure will disperse more evenly too.

[@stevehawley5618]

Also, you can add a couple of teaspoons of liquid smoke to the salt/sugar to get a smokey note.

[@JTtheMediocre]

I finished off the last of my homemade lox this morning. When I went to cure the salmon, I also added fresh dill on the fleshy side of the fish along with a light drizzle of gin. You can do this with just about any herbs you want. You can also add shredded beets to give the lox a really beautiful pink exterior and a more earthy flavor.

[@HisGlory768]

Oooooooohhh yum

[@_vivatron]

Even though better help is bad, what’s wrong with babish taking their money? People who don’t know it’s bad and see the ad should at least google “better help” first and learn about it and be responsible for what THERAPY they are choosing. Not really his fault if people use better help without doing at least a little bit of googling first

[@Staniii2360]

7:18 Babish is such a show off. 😂 Until some days ago when I saw that toaster in one of Jordan’s videos, I didn’t even knew such a thing existed. Just look how gentle it lowers the Bagel.

[@Sooch900]

I make the bagels (fresh bagels can’t be beat) but I buy the cream cheese and smoked salmon. A little trick I like to do is put the shaved onion and capers right on top of the cream cheese (lightly pressing them in) it’s not as pretty but the capers don’t roll off the top of the bagel.

What I would recommend with the curing of the salmon. In that salt sugar mixture, add a couple drops of liquid smoke to have that smoked cured salmon taste. Use a whisk to make sure it's well combined and no clumps.

Happy to find out that Babish takes his bagels like I do. Just switch out the everything bagel for a sesame and it's the best breakfast ever.

Quite common to make from scratch here in Sweden. It's a near fail-safe recipie, I make it everytime i find a cheaper piece of salmon.

[@BottyGuy]

When i was a kid in Illinois in the 70s fresh water smelt were everywhere. Any county fair would have a smelly stand, you’d buy a cup full. The coating was similar, but with pepper. There was a huge drop in smelly population in the 80s, over fishing i guess, so it really stopped.

[@SeamusCalder]

You realize that you got through the whole video without mentioning that in the episode, she specifically orders it with scallion cream cheese, plain bagel, and no capers

[@johnnyrogers9450]

Hot take, I watched this channel initially for Babish, moreso than the food, so I really, really prefer these episodes where he does it himself. I don't watch the others, not out of deliberate disrespect, but just because that's not why I became a fan in the first place. Sorry guys.

[@Donnellment]

A very easy cream cheese analog (labneh) can be made by mixing a 1/2 tsp salt through a pint of Greek yogurt, and then hanging over a bowl in a cheese cloth for 24 / 48 hours.

as someone who grew up in NY and now lives out of state I have to ask before ordering if they have real lox or is it just smoked salmon and not a single bagel shop seems to know or care that there not the same thing most looked offended when I said its not lox just curious if others have the same problem

[@kencharm2909]

The way you do it is FAR better than the way the show did it. The correct amount of cream cheese is entirely too much cream cheese. Further, lox and bagel should always be served open face. One more complement for you, you added salt into the everything bagel mix. Without salt it is merely a mostly everything mix. Based on this episode I feel comfortable saying that you, unlike far too many others, are not a heathen.

[@Thecuervogold]

[@espenschjelderup426]

Somtimes it's funny how languages adopt new words. By saying salmon lax you're actually saying salmon salmon😁 Lax or laks beeing the nordic word for salmon, and you making gravlaks (the Norwegian word for the salmon dish).

[@mmoney416]

You're correct by saying that salmon lox is saying salmon salmon. However, it's because lox is Yiddish for salmon which comes from the German lachs

[@espenschjelderup426]

@@mmoney416 yeah that makes sence. German vocabulary has many more simmilar words to the Nordic languages than English has. Is the word gravlax used in American english or maybe it's mostly used in British English? I think the dish most likely origin in the Nordic countrys. But I wonder then if the dish and names could have entered the English speaking world from the Nordics via German because of the trading several hundred years ago🤔

[@illegalmemedealer3549]

⁠@@espenschjelderup426Actually, lox is the oldest word still in use today- it’s so old that it came to all these other languages separately from proto-Indo-European, which is the root of most modern European languages. It originally just meant salmon, though, and still does in most languages- the English version of the word meaning cured salmon comes from Yiddish.

[@mzple]

@@espenschjelderup426It entered through Jewish immigrants to the US who speak Yiddish. Millions of Yiddish speakers moved to the us around the turn of the century (1880s- late 1920s) and many Yiddish words have made their way into the American English lexicon.

only thing that could make this better is when you boil them you could be using something way stronger than baking soda. in professional bakeries they might use lye. probably something too dangerous to use at home. but, you can get something closer by baking the baking soda at a low temp for a while and turn it into something a lot stronger than what it was before

You are not wrong, unless you know exactly what to look for lox should really not be made at home and NEVER with wild caught salmon. If you must do this, freeze your salmon to -4 F for at least a week.
