- Scatter half of the gravadlax and onion over the top and cover with another third of the potatoes.
- Sprinkle over remaining gravadlax and onion.
- Cover with the remaining potatoes and season well.
- Heat the cream and milk in a small saucepan until simmering, then pour over the potatoes.
- Brush the top with butter and bake for 1 hour, until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.

Health Benefits of Gravadlax Temptation
Gravadlax temptation is a delicious dish that not only pleases the taste buds but also offers several health benefits. This delicious recipe combines the goodness of potatoes, gravadlax, onions, cream and milk, creating a tantalizing treat that is both nutritious and flavorful.
Promotes heart health
Using Gravadlax in this dish is a huge boon for heart health. Gravadlax, also known as cured salmon, is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fats that have been linked to a reduced risk of heart disease. These healthy fats help lower blood pressure, reduce inflammation and prevent blood clots from forming, ultimately supporting a healthy cardiovascular system.
Rich in essential nutrients
As the main ingredient, potatoes are full of essential nutrients that contribute to overall well-being. They are an excellent source of vitamin C, which supports immune function and supports collagen production for healthy skin. Potatoes also provide potassium, a mineral that helps regulate blood pressure and maintain proper muscle function. In addition, potatoes contain fiber, which aids digestion and prevents constipation.
Onions, another key ingredient, add both flavor and health benefits to the Gravadlax temptation. They are a rich source of antioxidants, especially flavonoids and sulfur compounds, which have anti-inflammatory properties. Onions have been linked to a reduced risk of cancer, improved digestion and improved heart health.
Source of calcium and protein
The Gravadlax Temptation recipe contains both cream and milk, which contribute to the rich and creamy texture of the dish. These dairy products are excellent sources of calcium, an essential mineral that promotes healthy bones and teeth. Calcium also plays an important role in muscle function, nerve communication and blood clotting.
In addition, both cream and milk provide a good amount of protein. Protein is an important macronutrient needed for the growth, repair and maintenance of tissue in the body. Consuming an adequate amount of protein in your diet helps build muscle, supports immune function, and keeps you feeling full.
In conclusion, trying Gravadlax not only satisfies your taste buds but also provides various health benefits. With the omega-3 fatty acids from salmon, the essential nutrients from potatoes, the antioxidants from onions, and the calcium and protein content from double cream and milk, this dish is a healthy meal that will nourish your body in more ways than one.
