Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, but assemble just before eating to prevent sogginess. Mash and refrigerate in airtight container with lemon juice to prevent browning.
What’s the difference between cold-smoked and hot-smoked salmon?
Cold-smoked is silkier, uncooked, and retains delicate texture — perfect for raw keto applications. Hot-smoked is firmer, cooked, and flakes.
