10 Creative Ways to Serve Smoked Salmon at Home
From Bagels to Bites, Here’s How to Make the Most of Your Lox.
Smoked salmon isn't just for fancy brunches or gourmet restaurants. It's one of the most versatile and impressive ingredients you can keep in your fridge. Whether you're entertaining guests or just upgrading your weekday meals, our premium smoked salmon makes it easy to serve something special.
Here are 10 creative and delicious ways to enjoy it at home:
1. Classic Bagel & Lox (With a Twist)
Upgrade the traditional bagel by using whipped lemon-dill cream cheese, capers, red onion, and microgreens. Or try it on a toasted sourdough or pumpernickel for a modern touch.
2. Smoked Salmon Avocado Toast
Top thick-cut sourdough with smashed avocado, a squeeze of lemon, a sprinkle of chili flakes, and silky slices of smoked salmon. Finish with cracked black pepper and dill.
3. Lox & Eggs Scramble
Add sliced lox into a buttery soft scramble, stir in some chives and cream cheese, and serve with rye toast for a hearty breakfast or brunch.
4. Lox Charcuterie Board
Pair smoked salmon with artisan crackers, pickled onions, cucumbers, olives, and a trio of spreads like horseradish cream, mustard sauce, and whipped feta.
5. Sushi-Inspired Bowls
Create your own poke or sushi-style bowl with rice, cucumbers, avocado, sesame seeds, nori strips, spicy mayo, and your favourite smoked salmon variation.
6. Smoked Salmon Flatbread
Top a crispy flatbread or lavash with herbed cream cheese, smoked salmon, arugula, red onion, and capers. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon.
7. Canapés for Entertaining
Use cucumber rounds, blini, or mini rye toasts as a base. Add cream cheese, a fold of salmon, and garnish with dill or caviar for an elegant bite.
8. Pasta with Smoked Salmon
Toss cooked pasta with lemon zest, olive oil, a splash of cream, capers, fresh herbs, and torn pieces of smoked salmon for a 15-minute gourmet dinner.
9. Salmon & Cream Cheese Pinwheels
Spread cream cheese on a tortilla or flatbread, layer smoked salmon and spinach, then roll and slice into bite-size pinwheels. Great for lunchboxes or party platters.
10. Warm Potato & Salmon Salad
Toss baby potatoes with Dijon vinaigrette, then add smoked salmon, red onions, capers, and fresh dill. Serve warm or cold.
