Simple meals using smoked salmon - please help with ideas.?!
Answers: My wife found some smoked salmon (the fully cooked, 6 oz. fillet type) at a very good price, and we need some simple meal ideas. Last night we crumbled it in a salad as we would use grilled chicken in a salad. Any other suggestions?
I love smoked salmon and this recipe is great!!!
SMOKED SALMON FETTUCINI
1/4 lb. butter
1 1/2 tbsp. minced garlic
1 pt. whipping cream
1 tsp. salt
3/4 lbs. fresh fettucini noodles
1/4 tsp. pepper
6 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 oz. smoked salmon, finely chopped
2 tsp. chopped green onion
In a heavy saucepan, melt the butter. Add the garlic and simmer over low heat until garlic softens (do not brown). Add the cream, salt and pepper and continue to cook on low heat until mixture is reduced by about 1/6. Stir in 3 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese. Let stand on low heat.
Separate the strands of raw fettucini noodles and place in boiling water for about 3 minutes. Drain well, then add cooked noodles to pan containing the sauce. Stir well to coat. Add smoked salmon. Stir. Transfer to heated platter and top with remaining 3 tablespoons Parmesan and then chopped onion.
I've had it with scrambled eggs and onions. It was great.
Mix it with Feta cheese and dill, stuff artichoke bottoms with it and bake in the overn for about 15 minutes or until the cheese starts to brown. Great appetizer.
Take 1 small onion dice it up and saute it in a frying pan w/butter (if you like some bell pepper diced up)
crumble up the salmon and mix it with 4 eggs 1/3 cup milk s&p
Pour mixture over the onions and let set. Mix around like any scramble egg, when it's the texture you like you and your wife have a meal.
Great for breakfast with a toasted bagel. (but anytime is good)
It's good in a quiche. Here's a recipe........

Salmon Cakes! Here's a really simple recipe.
INGREDIENTS
1 (7 ounce) can salmon, drained and flaked, or fresh salmon cooked and flaked
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 green onions, finely chopped
2 cups finely crushed saltine cracker crumbs
lemon pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
In a medium bowl, mix together salmon, egg, olive oil, green onions, and 2/3 cup cracker crumbs. Season with lemon pepper. Form mixture into 8 patties. Coat patties with remaining cracker crumbs, and arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Bake 10 minutes in the preheated oven, turning once, or until golden brown on both sides.
Use a good gourmet cracker and spred with cream cheese and thin slice salmon.
Try topping a plain uncooked bagel with plain cream cheese then put on the satmon then sprinkle chives or capers on the top hope I helped!!!
