Smoked salmon spread – Which fish to choose?
You'll need hot-smoked salmon for this recipe. There are variations available in stores (e.g. smoked salmon with black pepper or herbs). I choose those without any additives, but I’ll leave the choice up to you.
The salmon spread is rich in protein, it’s also a good source of healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Additionally, you can add your favourite vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, or iceberg lettuce. Regarding bread, I recommend choosing high-quality wholegrain bread, ideally homemade or from an artisan bakery. A whole-grain tortilla also works well.
Enjoy this smoked salmon spread as a speedy morning meal (simple to prepare the night before) or as a handy lunch to bring to the office.
