Have you ever wondered what to do leftover salmon? Seafood is tasty and fun, but you have to admit it, they aren’t always appetizing when becoming a leftover. Instead of wasting the good salmon, why not turning it into another meal – which can be tasty and healthy at the same time?
What to Do with Leftover Salmon: The Easy Solution
Just because you have salmon as a leftover, it doesn’t mean that you have to deal with fussy or complicated arrangement. There are some super leftover salmon recipes that only need a short time to prepare and make.
Salmon Fried Rice
This recipe is just perfect if you have leftover rice too. But even if you don’t, no fret. Moreover, if you don’t really like tons of ingredients for making a tasty meal, then you have the perfect option. This meal only needs around 30 minutes to complete.
The main ingredients only include sake, salt, eggs, scallions, and salmon. It would be even better if you have the Japanese salted salmon. The fried rice should be infused with eggs, scallions, and also light seasonings of your preference. Voila! Your meal is ready, and you can enjoy the unique Japanese taste of the cooking.
Salmon Dip
Looking for a smoky, rich, and creamy flavor? You are looking at the right recipe! After all, you won’t need a lot of ingredients. They are also easy to find. The main ingredients are:
- Cream cheese
- Greek yogurt
- Smoked salmon. If you like a soft texture, go with cold smoked one. But if you like the hard smoked type, you can use the cooked salmon that is flaky.
- Fresh dill
- Green onion
- Dijon mustard
There is no exact measurement for this dip. Just go with your preferred amount and you should be okay. You only need to blend everything with the food processor, expect for the salmon. Once everything is mixed together, add in the salmon and then blend again until you have reached the texture you want. Some people like it rough and flaky, while others prefer smoother texture.
Originally, this recipe doesn’t require salt. But if you have tasted it and you still need that extra punch, feel free to add some. Some people may even add black pepper on it.
You can use the dip as a spread, on sandwich, rye toast, or baguette. You can also use it as a dip for potato chips, Melba toasts, Pita chips, pretzel chips (or pretzels), Crostini, (gluten free) crackers, and also bell pepper, celery, or carrots slices. With these options, you don’t have to worry again about what to do leftover salmon, if you have one.
