The careful preparation of the fillets selected from the back section of the salmon revives the tradition of the Court of the Tsar. Since its rediscovery, this process has been considered the epitome of culinary masterpieces. The entire side of the salmon is mildly smoked using the Balik method. After careful filleting, every gram of Balik Fillet Tsar Nikolaj represents a real treat for the palate! We recommend cutting the Fillet Tsar Nikolaj vertically into medallions approximately one centimetre wide. This is the best way to enjoy this delicious Balik salmon and its unrivalled taste.

In preparing the Balik Side Classic, specially selected salmon (Atlantic salmon) are mildly smoked in our traditional smoking chamber. Afterwards, the whole salmon sides are trimmed by hand and the bones and smoked skin removed. As the exquisite, original aroma of this remarkable salmon is experienced best when the sides are cut into fine slices, we offer Balik Side Classic as a single piece or pre-cut.
Each pack comes with detailed slicing instructions with suggestions for serving and dressing. Balik Side Classic tastes best if you combine it with just a few selected fresh ingredients, such as some crème fraîche and black pepper from a mill.
Trimmed, sliced and portioned – the “small portion” from the full side.

Gravlax literally means “buried salmon”. The Scandinavians discovered this natural method of preserving freshly caught salmon for several weeks centuries ago. We have adapted and refined this tradition for our own purposes. After smoking and trimming, a mixture of dill, salt, pepper and sugar is rubbed into the sides of the Balik, which is then stored in the refrigerator for at least 1 day in order to marinate. The pickled sides are then cut and packaged.
To accompany Balik Gravlax we recommend our delicious Balik mustard and dill sauce as well as our Balik bread.
A whole salmon side, mildly smoked, trimmed and then marinated. For direct consumption without lengthy preparation, the whole salmon side has been pre-cut into approx. 40 neat portions.
