Lower East Side Lox is a traditional smoked salmon preparation with its roots in the Jewish community of New York's Lower East Side, a neighborhood historically inhabited by European immigrants. This dish has become a culinary emblem of New York culture, known for its delicate flavor and its perfect combination with bagels and cream cheese. In different Latin American countries, the term may vary, sometimes being referred to simply as "smoked salmon with cream," though it never loses its essence or its popularity.
In Mexico, for example, it is usually served in similar versions, accompanied by fresh ingredients and its characteristic creamy touch. In Argentina and Chile, smoked salmon is also highly appreciated, often consumed for breakfast or at special celebrations, and in some cases it is known as "New York-style smoked salmon." This recipe reflects the fusion of flavors and traditions, establishing itself as a classic that brings generations together around the table.
