Hot-smoked salmon mixed with creamy cheese, a bit of red onion, sweet corn, and chives, on a slice of sourdough rye bread. Sounds good, doesn’t it?

Additionally, this spread is great to take to work, just need a slice of good bread or a wholegrain tortilla and you’re set. If you like salmon, you definitely should try this recipe, though I’m convinced it will become a regular on your menu.

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.
