history
IKEA describes the Swedish tradition of curing salmon with salt, sugar and dill, often serving it with sweet-and-savory mustard sauce. California reviews document cured salmon with dill and mustard sauce at East Palo Alto in 2004 and Emeryville in 2008. [4] [7] [8]
A January 2016 Aquaculture Stewardship Council report records IKEA’s autumn 2015 commitment to ASC-certified farmed seafood across stores in 47 countries. The later U.S. forty-year retrospective highlights both cured and filleted salmon in restaurants, alongside frozen take-home versions. [3] [5]
nutrition
The U.S. add-on label includes salmon and lemon, but no mustard sauce. Fish, specifically salmon, is the listed allergen. Sauce or a larger salad order changes the serving basis. [2]
