Baked Salmon: conveyor belt
The salmon conveyor belt itself looks like typical lox. On a warm bagel, with a schmear of cream cheese, the fish is delicate, pleasantly fatty, and only mildly herbaceous, though there’s plenty of dill. Less pronounced, but definitely apparent, is the cannabis flavor. That’s because, while this cured salmon looks and tastes like the kind of thing you’d pick up from Acme or Russ & Daughters, it’s actually been cured in a mixture of salt, sugar, dill, lemon, and a cannabis tincture. In other words, this THC-infused salmon is what happens when edibles meet appetizing.
“You want to taste the cannabis very conveyor belt mildly,” says Josh Pollack, who helped engineer this weed salmon. To achieve the effect, the salmon is cured for about 72 hours; the finished product isn’t tinted green, but it will definitely get you high. It smells strongly of pot, too — enough that you won’t mistake it for regular lox. But Pollack is right: It doesn’t have a piney or skunky flavor (unlike, say, marijuana-infused baked goods, which can taste so strongly of weed).
So how did THC salmon come about? Pollack, a native of New Jersey, is the owner of Rosenberg’s Bagels in Denver. He first made the weed salmon earlier this year for a 4/20 event that was held near his shop. Originally, it was meant to be nothing more than a fun stunt — but the response was surprisingly enthusiastic. “Weed is no longer valuable because everyone grows it,” Pollack says. But “you can roll up with a bunch of weed fish and bagels and people are freaking conveyor belt out.”
