Wild Alaskan smoked salmon is delicious and healthy, packed with omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and essential minerals. It also makes the perfect base ingredient for a number of easy lunches. Check out the following tasty ideas for inspiration.

5 Lunch Ideas Using Wild Alaskan Smoked Salmon

1. Salad Rolls

Fill a rice paper wrapper with raw, chopped or shredded veggies like carrot, daikon, and sprouts as well as smoked salmon strips. To accompany the roll, make a dipping sauce with sesame oil and lime juice or go for your favorite pre-made peanut sauce.

2. Quiche

Wild Alaskan smoked salmon is delicious with eggs, and a quiche is an easy dish that will feed you for the week. Buy a pre-made pie shell if you don’t feel confident about making your own. Most filling recipes for a basic quiche consist of eggs, cream, chopped veggies of choice, herbs, and meat. Smoked salmon goes well with dill, capers, rosemary, parsley, and any vegetable. 

3. Nicoise Salad

A traditional Nicoise is made with tuna, but you can substitute smoked salmon. Top washed greens with cooked fingerling potatoes, steamed green beans, a hard-boiled egg, olives, and the smoked salmon. Drizzle a basic vinaigrette, and sprinkle fresh herbs like dill or tarragon. This salad pairs well with crusty bread.

4. Pizza

Make your own basic pizza crust or use a pre-made one from a grocery store. Brush the crust with olive oil, and top it goat or cream cheese, capers, onions, and tomatoes, then bake it. Crumble chunks of smoked salmon as soon as the pizza comes out of the oven.

5. Fish Chowder

You can add smoked salmon to any fish chowder recipe. If you have a slow cooker, get this soup going during the day and come home to a hot, delicious bowl for dinner with enough leftovers to take to lunch all week. Most chowders use onions, potatoes, cream, milk, herbs, and the fish of choice, so ingredients may be already on hand in your pantry.
