What You Need

Easy upgrade: Add a soft-boiled egg, avocado slices, or capers for a fuller brunch plate.
Lunch: Smoked Salmon Salad Wrap
For lunch, smoked salmon turns a simple wrap into something lighter and more satisfying than a heavy sandwich. The key is adding crunch, freshness, and a mild sauce.
What You Need

- Cucumber strips
- Cherry tomatoes
- Labneh, cream cheese, or yogurt sauce

- Roll tightly and serve immediately.
Make it more filling: Add avocado, boiled potatoes, or a side salad.
Dinner: Creamy Smoked Salmon Pasta
Smoked salmon pasta is one of the easiest ways to make dinner feel special without spending a long time in the kitchen. The salmon is added at the end, so it keeps its soft texture and smoky flavour.
What You Need
- Smoked salmon slices, cut into ribbons
- Pasta
- Cooking cream, labneh, or Greek yogurt
- Lemon zest
- Fresh dill or parsley
- Black pepper
Quick Method
- Cook pasta according to the pack instructions.
- Mix cream, labneh, or Greek yogurt with a little pasta water.
- Add lemon zest, herbs, and black pepper.
- Toss through the warm pasta.
- Fold in smoked salmon just before serving.
Important: Do not cook smoked salmon for long. Add it at the end so it stays silky and does not become dry.
How Much Smoked Salmon Should You Use?
A 200g pack of smoked salmon can be used in different ways depending on the meal size and what you serve with it.
- Breakfast toast: Around 40g to 60g per serving.
- Wrap or salad: Around 50g to 70g per serving.
- Pasta: Around 50g to 80g per serving.
