Smoked Salmon Recipes: Three Appetizer or Brunch Recipes
<<
Smoked Salmon Recipes are an ideal part of any brunch menu and can
double as appetizers or a light meal. Try out these easy appetizer recipes for a change from the usual bagels and lox platter. Choose from the three smoked salmon recipes below. Please note that these are dairy recipes - for a pareve menu, substitute cream cheese with pareve tofutti cream cheese.
Ingredients for a single Smoked Salmon Wrap:
- 1 small wrap (6"-8") or thick pita split in half
- Lettuce, frisee, Boston or Bibb to line wrap/pita
- 1 tbsp. whipped cream cheese
- 2-3 slices of smoked salmon
- 1 cooked asparagus spear, green onion trimmed at the ends or fresh chives, trimmed
Place lettuce on wrap or pita - if the edges of the lettuce are 'attractive', let
them hang over the wrap a little bit. Lay the slices of lox, side by side over the
lettuce. Spoon cream cheese on top of the lox. Lay the asparagus spear, green onion or chives in the centre of the cream cheese. Fold up tightly, without tucking in
the sides so that both ends are visible. Place wrap seam side down on platter or
place a toothpick in the centre to keep it closed. If desired, you may be able to seal the wrap with a touch of cream cheese, placed along the seam of the wrap that can act like glue. Continue process with other wraps. A gorgeous and mouth-watering lox snack!
Ingredients for a single "Lox on Latke":
- 1 Potato Latke, room temperature (you can make these ahead of time and freeze or refrigerate them)
- 1 thin slice of cucumber
- 1 slice of smoked salmon
- 1 tsp. cream cheese or sour cream
- Pinch of dill, chopped chives, parsley or capers
Latke should be at room temperature. Place a thin slice of cucumber, cut on the bias for greater size,
in centre of latke. Place a slice of smoked salmon,
rolled up, on top of cucumber so that cucumber remains slightly visible underneath
it. On top of smoked salmon, place a teaspoon of cream cheese or sour cream, making
sure that lox and cucumber are still visible underneath. Top with a pinch of dill,
chives, parsley or capers.
Ingredients for a single "Frittata with Lox":
- One Mini Frittata
- 1 slice of smoked salmon
- 1 tsp. cream cheese, if desired
- Pinch of dill, chives or parsley
Place a small spoonful of cream cheese on top of a lukewarm frittata. Top with a rolled
up slice of lox and spinkle top with herbs.
If desired, you may wrap the slice of smoked salmon around a green pimento olive to give it body and
extra flavour.
These Smoked Salmon Recipes make easy and convenient appetizers that can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until you need them.
Feel free to substitute you favorite herbs and seasonings for the
ones listed. Note that capers, peppers and condiments such as
dijon mustard can be mixed into cream cheese for an interesting
flavor twist.
