Smoked salmon is a delicious product, but it’s also a vast category. Within the spectrum of smoked and cured salmon, you’ll find at least half a dozen varieties including Nova, Western, Eastern, Lox, Gravlax, Kippered, and pastrami-style. Before salmon is smoked, it is either dry or wet cured with salt, and sometimes sugar and spices too. Once smoked (either using a hot or cold smoking process), the salmon transforms into a smooth, silky fish with a subtle salty taste. Of course plenty of people enjoy smoked salmon on its own, but it’s even better when upgraded with crème fraîché, sliced red onions, capers, and dill. Here, we’re sharing 11 combinations of sometimes simple, sometimes spectacular, and always satisfactory smoked salmon recipes.
21. Smoked Salmon Carpaccio Recipe
Carpaccio is a dish that originated in Veneto, Italy. The original preparation consisted of thinly sliced raw beef slices served with lemon juice, olive oil and shaved parmesan. This variation that I have put together is inspired by traditional carpaccio but uses cold smoked salmon. To me, smoked salmon carpaccio is the ultimate spring or summer dish! In this recipe, smoked salmon gets lightly marinated in a lemony-shallot dressing then topped with crispy pan-fried capers, and garnished with fresh dill. You can then serve this dish as-is or on top of crostini, crackers, or heck…you can even serve this on a freshly toasted bagel for an elevated lox brunch situation!

The rest of the recipe is inspired by Greek spinach pie with a Nordic detour to include smoked salmon (the dill took me on a culinary trip).

This recipe begins, of course, with a beautiful salmon filet. Start with the best salmon you can find. I like to feel around for any remaining pin bones, then slice the filet into cubes. The more surface area these salmon bites have the better – we want them to soak up as much of that glaze as possible.

3. Smoked Salmon Baked Eggs in Avocado
This recipe is very rich, creamy, and flavorful. It’s hardly a recipe at all because the steps are simply to halve the avocados, carve them out (not too much), line them with smoked salmon, dollop in the egg and bake until firm. Garnish with red chili flakes and dill, then eat warm. Done! One small confession: this is the first time I’ve eaten avocado warm, but I like this smoked salmon recipes so much.
I can’t decide if next time I’ll make some coconut-flour buns to smear this on, or enjoy these baked eggs in avocado straight out of the avocado skin again. After hollowing out the avocado, spoon in the egg whites, being careful not to fill to overflowing (since the egg yolk will be added later). When the whites are almost completely set, delicately slide the yolks right on top. The yolks will still be soft after 5-10 minutes more of baking and the whites will be set, too.

2. Brown Sugar Lemon Garlic Smoked Salmon
Besides sushi I don’t love fish. What can I say? Cooked fish just isn’t my favorite. The exception would be smoked fish. Meat cooked in a smoker, if done right, is just crave-worthy to me.

1. Keto Smoked Salmon Fat Bombs
If you’re new to the keto diet, you may be wondering what a fat bomb is and why would you want one? Fat bombs are usually a combination of some sort of healthy fat like grass-fed butter, coconut oil, nut, or seeds. But today I’m sharing a different kind of fat bomb using a favorite protein of mine, smoked salmon! Cream cheese is the fat of choice for these fat bombs and they are awesome for a snack or to serve as an appetizer for a party, even the non-keto crowd will love them.
Obviously, without some sort of coating, these fat bombs will be quite sticky to pick up and eat, but if it’s just you at home, you can leave off the seasoning. Either way, they are a scrumptious way to get in your macros! In fact, I’d be happy to just eat a few and call it a meal in my opinion, and also it is a best-smoked salmon recipes ever!
