Smoked Salmon Surfeit

Invite me over to eat some of ity?

Other than that: a pasta dish with a creamy sauce or some melted
ricotta, plus the salmon, steamed snow peas or sugar snap peas, red
peppers, and dill

A quiche with the salmon, lightly steamed asparagus, and goat cheese

Last year I used some leftover smoked salmon from Chrtistmas morning in
my devliled eggs filling - i used half mayo, half sour cream, diced
smoked salmon, and dill. These went fast!

Smoked salmon pinwheels- spread with cream cheese, these go nicely as a
snack or lunchbox item for my spoiled foodie 9 year old!

A wonderful hawaain salad recipe someone gave me here - dice the lox
along with a nice tomato and a cucumber, plus some cilantro if you like
it. Drizzle with toasted sesame oil; toos and chill for an hour;
sprikle with sesame seeds. (I think that's everything from memory,
although I didn't go find the recipe.)

So, I went to Central Market (fancy shmancy food store) yesterday and
asked for a quarter pound of smoked Norwegian salmon. For some reason,
the guy behind the counter gave me a pound of the stuff -- and only
charged me for a third of a pound. An embarrasment of riches!
(Particularly since the stuff runs 22 bucks a pound.)

So now I've got three-quarters of a pound of delicious salmon in the
fridge, and I'm the only one in the house who will eat the stuff. I
love lox and bagels, but after three meals of it, I'm looking for a
little variety.

I might do a scrambled egg/smoked salmon/cream cheese thing tomorrow,
but other than that, anyone got any ideas? (Other than freezing it.)

Yeah, I had a bunch of beet and horseradish cured salmon
left over from xmas myself. It ended up in roll ups for
one of the party week luncheons.

Take a tortilla, lay in some cream cheese, something
green like arugala or cilantro, mustard, capers, chopped
onion or shallot, and your thinly sliced salmon. Roll up
and cut on a bias.

I'ts really easy to freeze Karen.

In fact I buy mine frozen. I just interleave it with
plastic wrap and put it on a flat bit of cardboard covered
in plastic wrap and vacuum seal it. Keeps a looong time
that way.

My #1 favorite with smoked salmon is a smoked salmon souffle. It's
extraordinarily easy, especially when you make the bechemel sauce in the
microwave. Use at most 2 egg yolks, and at least 7 egg whites.
Good Luck,
Kent

Perhaps a bit of fresh lime juice squeezed over? Sounds delicious.

Hi,
was it warm or cold smoked? The former is sort of "cooked" in appearance
while the latter somewhat resembles gravad, but with a clear smoke
flavour and scent. Sorry, I don't know how to describe them better.
Anyway, if it was cold smoked (which I like better), one very simple
way to enjoy it is with a good fresh and warm rye bread (with whole
grain in it, if you can get the sort) and butter. Also, as someone
already suggested, with a good fresh pasta. But instead of using cream,
just try it with some oil (something neutral in taste, IMO olive oil
doesn't go well with salmon) and the smoked salmon cut to smallish
pieces, with a bit of lemon pepper and finely chopped sauteed onion.
Simple tastes, but so good.

PS. $22 a pound? Ouch 🙂

Perfect -- and easy. I have to make appetizers for tonight's Rose Bowl
Game (thank God I have my mystery critique group and can be elsewhere).
What doesn't get used today goes into the freezer; I'm printing this
thread and will sample the recipes over the next month or so. Thanks
so much, everyone!
