Ways To Eat Smoked Salmon

It has only been within the last few years that I have actually tried it. I don’t know why, but for some reason, I didn’t think I would like it. You know how it is when you try to convince your kids to try something new.

It comes in many varieties. The most common is frozen and in cans. You can also smoke salmon on the grill.

Salmon and dill pair so well together. So do eggs and salmon. There are lots of great ways to enjoy this popular smoked fish for breakfast, brunch, lunch dinner and appetizers too.

Here are a few easy recipes using smoked salmon:

  1.  Warm Potato Salad with Dill & Smoked Salmon is a favourite around here. Great as a side dish, or stand alone meal.
  2.  Smoked Salmon Cucumber Appetizer with Cream Cheese is the perfect party appetizer. You could even use this as a smoked salmon spread.
  3. Smoked Salmon Potato Appetizers are a hit at holiday parties. The perfect elegant appetizer.

FAQ

Is smoked salmon cooked or raw?

It has been cured in either hot or cold smoke. Each method produces a slightly different taste and texture.

The hot method smokes the salmon between 120-180ºF. This allows the salmon to cook. The cold smoked method dry cures the salmon in salt for several days, which draws out the moisture. The fish is then smoked in a temperature below 80ºF.

Is smoked salmon healthy?

Whether you eat it hot or cold, it contains protein and fat. It is high in sodium, so that may be a concern for some people.

Is it the same as lox?

Lox refers to salmon cured in a salt-sugar rub or brine.

What is gravlax?

Fresh salmon fillets that have been cured it in salt, sugar and fresh dill for several days.

    Such a great quick and easy meal! My kiddo may not be into the salmon, but the cottage cheese and cucumber makes it so that we can eat it as a family. The perfect meal for when we don’t want to cook. 🙂

      Yes, we all need quick and easy meals. You can always sub in something else for the smoked salmon. Canned tuna would work just fine too. ENJOY!

    A great idea to keep some smoked salmon in the freezer. That way you can make this beautiful salad on a whim. Anything with salmon and avocado I”m in.
