Smoked salmon anyone?

OK - LOVE smoked salmon. However, I want a new preperation for it....instead of just out of the package like I normally eat it. Any healthy good ideas to liven it up?

I use it as part of a pasta sauce.

cut up a handful of cherry tomatoes and throw them in a hot-ish pan, stir them around a couple of minutes, add in a couple of tablespoons of lot fat creme fresh (sorry can't remember how to spell it, and spelling has never been my strong point..), shredded smoked salmon and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir, and then chuck in your cooked pasta to coat.

I tend to then rip up some fresh basil leaves over the top to serve.

Turn the pan down as you put the creme fresh in. I find it doesn't like being cooked too much and may split because of having so little fat in it. If you're making it with normal stuff then you have fewer issues.

My cooking style is a little rough and ready; I tend to cook by the seat of my pants...

I usually hate eating breakfast during the week but I can never say no to this "recipe" for smoked salmon eggmuffins

1 whole wheat english muffin
1 egg or 2 egg whites (fresh or carton)
1.5 oz smoked salmon
capers
red onion if desired

Slice muffin and toast it. Meanwhile, spray a ramekin with cooking spray and add the egg. If using whole egg, break the yolk. Add salt and pepper and any other seasonings you like (garlic and onion powder, cayenne, dill--whatever floats your boat). Cover with plastic wrap (make a small hole for air) and microwave for 45 seconds. You can probably figure out what to do with everything from here but for the sake of completeness, put the egg, salmon, capers and red onion between the two halves of the muffin.

You can also fry the egg in a small nonstick pan with some cooking spray if you like...

I love smoked salmon!!! my favorite way is with neufchatel cheese (its basically lowfat cream cheese) and capers on a bagel or bagel thin, yum!

Make a 2 egg omelete, thin. Then place spinach, smoked salmon, thinly sliced cucumber, capsicum, capers and mix some ricotta cheese and horseraddish cream. then roll it up, delicous. :happy:
