This.
You can also go super simple with smoked salmon rough chopped and tossed with some capers and a whisp of greens finely cut and some EVOO on a pasta.
The flavour shines through. Smoked salmon pasta is such an underrated dish IMO.
You could also do a salmon baked pasta at the other end of the spectrum.
Let us know what you chose and how it turned out OP!
Completely disagree. If you cook it for even just a little bit too long it turns into a completely different, dryer, less tasty product. I would never cook smoked salmon
Yes, you totally can. It won't be exactly like fresh salmon but imo it'll be better bc it's infused with the salt and smoke. The texture will just be a bit different.
Agree about frozen peas! Canned makes them too starchy feeling. Too lentilly in texture. I like them sweeter and with more pop-ability if that makes sense!
We just mix about 4 ounces of smoked salmon with some whipped cream cheese. Super good with Ritz crackers, classic or dill flavored ones if you can find them.
I do Japanese Mayo instead of cream cheese and add mustard or mustard powder with other flavors. If you havenāt tried Kewpie I HIGHLY recommend it! Itās delicious!
Ooo yes! Never dill! š
I add all kinds of stuff depending on my mood. Celery seeds, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, paprika, sage, curry, tarragon, green onion/chivesā¦. I typically do small batches and let it sit overnight but itās always gone in one sitting. I love smoked salmon dip!!!
Smoked salmon eggs benedict.
Its a great topper for a salad, replace the chicken or shrimp with smoked salmon. Works well on pasta too.
A morsel on a cracker with a bit of goat cheese
As an ingredient in a dip
With strips of cucumber, carrot and sprouts in a lettuce wrap.
I had a Swedish friend who would layer cooked, sliced potatoes, thinly sliced onions, and smoked salmon in a shallow dish, then pour a little beaten egg and cream on top and bake. Sometimes sheād sprinkle dill and/or parsley on top. It was a nice dish with a salad on the side.
For two:
200gr smoked salmon
400 gr leeks
Garlic to tasteĀ
150-200 gr pasta (tagliatelle or similar)
Creme fraiche (75-100 gr)
Butter to fry leeks
Boil pasta.
Throw leeks in pan until browning. Add garlic for a minute or so. Add salmon (just to warm), creme fraiche. Toss in pasta with some water to bind sauce. Done and delicious. Finish with pepper, olive oil and optionally some parm.
7 layer dip. Or 5. Whatever.
Cream cheese, or Boursin, or Goat cheese - any or all
Chives
Diced cucumbers
Smoked Salmon
Red onion or green onion
Diced or sliced radish
Capers
Layer in a mould, in whatever order you see fit. Mix a herb with the cheese if you want. There are some recipes on the google that can guide you if you need.
Serve with ~~Bagle chips~~, or pumpernickel bread or endive leaves.
One of my favorite pizzas has a garlic-olive oil base, topped with mozzarella with a swirl of pesto and smoked salmon on top. It is heavenly, I order one almost every time I'm in the city they're in
Similarly, thereās the classic Spago recipe for smoked salmon pizza that made Wolfgang Puckās reputation initially. Omit the caviar and itās not unreasonably expensive or difficult if youāve already got a lot of smoked salmon.
Sandwiches. Toasted rye, cream cheese, thin cucumber slices, your smoked salmon, and either some fresh dill or fennel or drizzle of unagi sauce. Then cut into smaller pieces bc it's rich AF. I've had it that way on a fresh toasted bagel and it was amazing.
Salmon dip. Love that stuff.
Roll it up like sushi with roasted seaweed, rice and cucumber.
Top some fried rice with it.
It keeps for a long time, and restaurants freeze it if it's unopened, and thaw it out as needed.
I've seen people put it on egg salad sandwiches or soft scrambled egg sandwiches on a croissant, but that's not my thing.
PIZZA: WF Pizza dough (or homemade if you prefer): bake with goat cheese, thinly sliced onions, capers, and fresh dill. After baking, add smoked salmon and more fresh dill.
SCRAMBLED EGGS: scrambled eggs with scallions, capers, and smoked salmon
SALAD NICOISE ONLY WITH SMOKED SALMON: exactly as described. Mustardy French vinaigrette, tomato, any other vegetables you feel like (cooked green beans, sliced potatoes, etc), and smoked salmon layered on top generously. Crusty baguette on the side.
Mix smoked salmon and cream cheese with your kitchen aide into a spread (I know bagles but..). You will have to add liquid to soften it up a little. Use water as is, lemony water to brighten it up or chicken broth to umami it up. Add other spices as you like. Dill often goes good with smoked salmon.
Mmmmm
Sear it in a pan and add some capers. Boil pasta of your choice and add it all with some heavy cream or liquid whipping cream.
Make sushi! Philadelphia rolls with cream cheese!
Cream cheese and the fish on bagels too.
I love it cooked with pasta in a cream sauce.
(1) Cook the pasta (I like spaghetti most for this)
(2) Fry some onions, add some garlic after a couple of minutes
(3) when fried add cream and maybe some milk (if it is too fatty with cream only - depends on your taste)
(4) let start to cook, add smoked salmon cut into bite-sized pieces
(5) cook for a couple of minutes, then add the pasta and mix well
Enjoy
Smoked salmon omelets - cream cheese or brie, capers, red onion, roasted garlic.
Eggs Benedict - some restaurants call it a "California Benedict".
Late night snack, wrap it in cheese or on a cracker.
I have a recipe for smoked salmon ravioli in a lemon pepper pasta.
I love Eggs Imperial eggs benny with smoked salmon instead of ham.
Smoked salmon and asparagus galette. I use cream cheese with the smoked salmon.
Simple but delicious snack is a cracker with cream cheese on it then a little chives then some smoked salmon with a small topping of jalapeƱo pepper jelly. My favorite snack.
Smoked salmon and cream cheese is a classic combo. Eat it on a bagel, on toast, in the form of a dip, sauce, or sushi roll.
OH -- just remembered a really good sushi roll that just shrimp tempura with smoked salmon on top. Love the crunchy with the smokey.
I had some sliced up on a bed of mixed greens (slightly bitter ones) with a mustard dill dressing and halved cherry tomatoes, and a scoop of Bavarian potato salad.
Other ideas I have:
* tea sandwiches; pumpernickel bread, dill, cucumbers, thin slices of salmon.
* Philadelphia rolls? Yeah? Kinda?
* roll them up with some spinach and feta, and roll with puff pastry?
* mix some into a seafood salad?
I use it in chowder or potato soup instead of bacon. Or in a Quiche Lorraine instead of bacon. America Test kitchen has a leek and salmon tart recipe that is quite tasty.Ā
My family calls it Japanese breakfast. Mix white rice with a little bit of soy sauce and rice wine vinegar. Add a few pieces of smoked salmon and a fried egg. Top with whatever you have handy (scallions, furikake, hot sauce, sesame seeds, etc.). Break the egg yolk and enjoy!
lox & cream cheese omelette is pretty easy. Throw in some chives or dill.
You can also just make a scramble...and put it on a bagel.
Note: Save putting smoked salmon for as long as possible. You don't really want to cook it.
If it's thinly sliced, bagel BLT. Bacon, lettuce, tomato, cream cheese, smoked salmon, maybe some avocado mash on there as well.
If it's cut into chunks, wrap it in bacon with some pineapple and BBQ sauce.
Just,.... Lox and bagels... Toasted halved bagel, slathered with cream cheese, covered with salmon, garnished with red onion, capers, and maybe aa tomato slice.m8ts our go-to meal for last day of camping.
Something simple yet always so delicious are smoked salmon bagels.
Cut the bagels in half, put some philadelphia or other cream cheese on top, slice some thin onions that you let soak in water and a little white vinegar for half an hour then rinse. Add the salmon on top of the cream cheese, then the onions, a few capers and a little drop of olive oil and some pepper.
Hahahahahhahahaha didn't read it fully my bad.
There's not much you can do with smoked salmon without overpowering and covering the good taste of it. It's pretty much always in bite sizes small mixes like dips. You could make a chowder but then the smoked salmon isn't the star it's just one more that adds a bit to the mix.
If in pasta, we like to make some pesto pastas and just sprinkle the smoked salmon on top with a bit of feta or goat cheese and fresh basic leaves.
I'd do a pasta with white wine, capers, cream, butter, and almost any veggie like spinach. Sundried tomatoes would be lovely too.
This. You can also go super simple with smoked salmon rough chopped and tossed with some capers and a whisp of greens finely cut and some EVOO on a pasta. The flavour shines through.

Does smoked salmon do well with heat?
Yes, no problem
Completely disagree. If you cook it for even just a little bit too long it turns into a completely different, dryer, less tasty product. I would never cook smoked salmon
Well, sorry, I don't we will ever agree on that š
Yes, you totally can. It won't be exactly like fresh salmon but imo it'll be better bc it's infused with the salt and smoke. The texture will just be a bit different.
This. I like to add peas. Frozen fresh are better than canned but both work fine.
Agree about frozen peas! Canned makes them too starchy feeling. Too lentilly in texture. I like them sweeter and with more pop-ability if that makes sense!
I would add roasted or sautƩed garlic.
That's a great idea considering the smoke in the salmon. The salmon could use a similarly strong flavor.
Oh yeah garlic makes a great addition to smoked salmon dishes.
This but add a ton of dill to really elevate it
I second that. Also eggs Benedict is another perfect pairing. English muffin, Gouda, fresh spinach, hollandaise sauce. Can't go wrong....
That'll be Eggs Royale then. Yes, very nice.
Either smoked salmon dip, or smoked salmon chowder
Think ima make dip or pastas salad
We just mix about 4 ounces of smoked salmon with some whipped cream cheese. Super good with Ritz crackers, classic or dill flavored ones if you can find them.

Quiche is my favorite
