What is the best way to enjoy smoked salmon? ›

Portion guide - Allow approximately 75g-100g per person for a smoked salmon starter and 150g per person for a main course. Whole sides of cold or hot roasted smoked salmon sliced, or unsliced, include the weight of the skin, which obviously would not be served.

Serve it with all the fixings—capers, hard-boiled eggs, tomatoes, cucumber, radishes, red onion and steamed potatoes. Lay out everything listed in the ingredients or just a few of the elements, along with an assortment of crackers, co*cktail bread or sliced baguette.

Both types of smoked salmon can be eaten cold right out of the package. Hot-smoked salmon can also be reheated and is great in hot dishes. Unlike fresh salmon, which should be prepared and eaten within 48 hours, smoked salmon has a longer shelf life.

Since it is already 'cooked', you can eat the succulent slices straight off the package (my personal favorite); put it on toast with cream cheese for a great quick snack; make yourself a smoked salmon sandwich on the go; or prepare a four-course gourmet meal based on the delicate treat.

You'll want about 12 ounces to 1 pound of quality smoked salmon to serve a small crowd of 4 to 6 people.

We recommend 1 lb. of raw fish per person when serving whole fish. We recommend 6-8 ounces raw weight per person when serving fish fillets and steaks. We recommend 8 ounces raw weight per person when serving various seafood items.

Smoked salmon is packed with nutrients, vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids, all of which will boost your health and lower your risk of cancer, heart disease, and cognitive decline.

Getting soft cheeses like Neufchatel cheese, brie, and cream cheese is an amazing way to pair them with the smoked salmon! We also definitely recommend you try some sort of cheese spread. You can do plain cream cheese, or something flavored and more elevated.

For a subtle and nutty flavor, try pairing smoked salmon with whole-grain crackers. If you're looking for a more traditional option, water crackers are a classic choice that won't overpower the delicate flavor of the fish.

What compliments smoked salmon? ›

Salad – A leafy green salad, chopped salad or potato salad are all perfect pairings. Vegetables – Any vegetable side such as carrots, green beans, Brussels sprouts, bell peppers, pickles, grilled corn or corn on the cob taste great alongside this rich-tasting fish.

Wrap your salmon in a parchment packet with aromatics, citrus, veggies, and a drizzle of olive oil. The steam trapped in the packet will infuse the fish with flavor and cook it gently, making it tender and juicy. Bonus: The parchment packets only take about 15 minutes at 425°F and the cleanup is minimal.

Cook the salmon, without moving, skin side up, until golden and crisp, about 4 minutes. Carefully flip the fillets and reduce the heat to medium. Continue cooking until done to your liking, 4 to 5 minutes more. Transfer to a platter and serve.
