Smoked Salmon Recipes

Smoked salmon recipes are super simple. That’s because the real work has been done in the preparation of the salmon. So all you need to do is think of all the ways you can eat it. Here’s a perfect easy appetizer using smoked salmon and naan bread. Your guests will think you’ve worked all day, but we know it’s taken no time at all. And, talk about impressive! 

What to Eat with Smoked Salmon

Instead of asking what to eat with smoked salmon, ask yourself, what can I not eat with smoked salmon. OK, maybe peanut butter! Somewhat of an exaggeration, but there are so many things you can create with slices of this glorious smoked salmon. Salads, Breakfast eggs. Omelets. Sandwiches. Roll ups. Roasted veggies. Chopped smoked salmon salad. Gosh, just let your thinking start churning! 

Creamed Cheese Salmon Bagel

There’s nothing better than the textures in this dish. The creaminess of the creamed cheese. The salty tender almost velvety smoked salmon. Then you have the chewy dense dougheeee toasted bagel. Add to that maybe onions, capers and, well, you see what I’ve added, olives!

Salmon and Bagel

Lox which we readily associate with bagels is really a kind of salmon cured in salt. Back in the days before refrigeration, lots of meats were preserved this way. And, keeping salmon edible in big salt baths then slicing thinly for eating has become a well-known delicay especially in the Jewish culture.
