Scrambled Eggs With Smoked Salmon And Green Garlic<\/p><\/div>\n

You may already have several ways to prepare smoked salmon in your repertoire. It seems every cookbook has a recipe for blini with smoked salmon and the image of afternoon tea includes the ubiquitous smoked salmon and cucumber tea sandwich. Let\u2019s see smoked salmon in a new way. Today I\u2019m looking at smoked salmon through the lens of cultures all over the world. How would the Italians interpret smoked salmon? What would the bold flavors of Asia be like with smoked salmon? How does the elegant and refined cuisine of France interpret smoked salmon? The beauty of cooking from the pantry is opening the door to a whole world of cuisines and exploration without having to experience jet lag.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve come up with 10 Ways to use smoked salmon in your spring pantry:<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Pizza<\/h5>\n

My friend Rosemary loves to garnish pizza with smoked salmon and fennel. I would use lemon, capers and goat cheese too. Once baked it could be drizzled with a citrusy extra virgin Italian olive oil.<\/p>\n

2. Eggs<\/h5>\n

In The Country Cooking of Ireland<\/a>, Colman Andrews quotes Sally Barnes of Woodcock Smokery in West Cork, \u201cWe love our smoked salmon with scrambled egg (very softly scrambled, almost runny) and a scratch of pepper, and no lemon in sight.\u201d Sometimes the simplest dishes are the best. I would serve it alongside brown bread and highest quality butter such as Kerrygold.<\/p>\n

3. Terrine<\/h5>\n

I am must try French Chef St\u00e9phane Reynaud\u2019s \u201cCrab and Smoked Salmon Terrine\u201d from his book, Terrine<\/a>. It\u2019s a no cook recipe where all you have to do is combine the ingredients, then layer into a glass, chill, and unmold 1 hour later. It\u2019s simple yet beautiful on the plate- the elegance of French style.<\/p>\n

4. Crepe<\/h5>\n

How about a buckwheat crepe with asparagus, spring onions, lemon zest, Burrata, and smoked salmon? Burrata is a rich, soft and creamy cow\u2019s milk cheese that really makes this dish delicious. A drizzle of walnut oil could be very nice here.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Green Salad<\/h5>\n

What if we do a spin on Scandinavian tradition and serve smoked salmon in a salad with pumpernickel croutons? Dress the greens in mustard vinaigrette and include pickled beets and toasted hazelnuts.<\/p>\n

6. \u00a0R\u04e7sti<\/h5>\n

Instead of fussy little blinis (potato pancakes) I like the idea of doing one big potato cake- a Swedish r\u04e7sti. This dish is a giant crispy pancake made from grated potato. Top with herbed goat cheese, smoked salmon, and delicate spring greens tossed in a bit of lemon and olive oil.<\/p>\n

7. B\u00e1nh-M\u00ec<\/h5>\n

In the Tartine Bread Book<\/a> Chad Robertson shares a recipe for B\u00e1nh-M\u00ec, a Vietnamese sandwich incorporating pickled vegetables with French baguette. My B\u00e1nh-M\u00ec would include smoked salmon, pickled vegetables, a spicy mayo and plenty of cilantro and lime.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 Beans<\/h5>\n

Smoked salmon and white beans could be a really nice combination. Serve it over garlic rubbed crostini with lemon and plenty of mint and chive for an alfresco happy hour or lunch. This dish just screams for a sparkling wine- maybe ros\u00e9?<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0 Lavender Butter Tea Sandwich<\/h5>\n

Last week in Design Sponge, Small Measures with Ashley<\/a>, I saw a recipe for lavender butter<\/a>. I love the idea of pairing floral flavors with smoked salmon during spring. For a twist on afternoon tea I prepare sandwiches with honey wheat bread, lavender butter, and smoked salmon. No cucumber here!<\/p>\n

10.\u00a0 Pasta Salad<\/h5>\n

I found an idea that is pure genius in the Chez Panisse Pasta, Pizza & Calzone<\/a> cookbook: \u201cSalmon Roe, Smoked Salmon, & Pasta Salad\u201d. Why am I so excited? I\u2019m always looking for good packed lunch ideas- peanut butter and jelly sandwiches get old after a while. The thought of a smoked salmon in a cold pasta salad (or potato salad) for lunch sounds fantastic!<\/p>\n

What is your favorite way to enjoy smoked salmon?<\/h5>\n
