Wild Alaskan smoked salmon is a versatile food that can be prepared in several unique ways. Whether you buy it in a grocery store or catch it yourself, the flavorful fish complements a variety of popular plates, from eggs Benedict to loaded baked potatoes. Here are four delicious dishes to try the next time you cook with smoked salmon.

How to Prepare Wild Alaskan Smoked Salmon

1. Salmon Asparagus Roll

These thin rolls are light and fresh, and they work well as appetizers at dinner parties or family get-togethers. Simply wrap one or two spears of roasted asparagus in a thin slice of smoked salmon, secure it with a toothpick, and serve at room temperature. For a little more substance, add cream cheese—either in the roll or as a dip.

2. Eggs Benedict

This renowned breakfast dish is traditionally served with bacon or ham, but wild Alaskan smoked salmon will be a welcome change for your taste buds. The savory fish blends well with the subtle flavors of egg and English muffin, and the rich, lemony notes of Hollandaise sauce offer both tang and moisture to the plate.

3. Avocado Toast With Salmon

In recent years, many toast aficionados have opted to replace butter and jam with mashed avocado. The tenderness of salmon blends seamlessly with the creamy fruit, and the crispness of the toast creates contrast in the texture. If you can handle some spice, use cajun-seasoned salmon—the high-fat content of avocado will cut through the heat to produce a mild, peppery flavor.

4. Loaded Baked Potatoes

Like eggs Benedict, loaded baked potatoes are often served with bacon. However, smoked salmon adds a unique roasted flavor to the common side dish. Skip the cheese and butter—finish out the plate with lemon zest, chives, and a bit of sour cream for a flavor-packed potato.
