Gravlax (Swedish: [ˈgrɑ̂ːvlakːs]), graavilohi (Finnish: [ˈɡrɑ̝ːʋiˌlo̞ɦi]), gravad lax, gravlaks or graved salmon is a Nordic dish consisting of salmon that is cured using a mix of salt, sugar and dill. It is garnished with fresh dill or spruce twigs and may occasionally be cold-smoked after it is cured. Gravlax is usually served as an appetizer, sliced thinly and accompanied by a dill and mustard sauce known as hovmästarsås (also known in Sweden as gravlaxsås, in Norway as sennepssaus, literally 'mustard sauce', in Denmark as rævesovs, literally 'fox sauce', in Iceland as graflaxsósa, and in Finland as hovimestarinkastike, literally 'butler's sauce'), either on bread or with boiled potatoes.
