1 lb canned alaskan salmon
8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp finely minced onion
1 tsp prepared horseradish
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp liquid smoke flavoring
1/2 c chopped pecans
1/4 c chopped fresh parsley

  • 2. Combine the chopped pecans and parsley on a sheet of waxed paper. Shape the salmon mixture into a log. Roll the log in the parsley and nuts. Place on appropriate serving dish and garnish with parsley leaves if desired. Refrigerate until serving time.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Salmon: Select fresh, wild-caught salmon for the best flavor and texture. Look for fish with firm flesh and a vibrant color.
  • Proper Thawing: If using frozen salmon, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for 30-45 minutes. Never thaw salmon at room temperature, as this can promote bacterial growth.
  • Seasoning and Marinating: Enhance the salmon's flavor with a variety of seasonings like salt, pepper, herbs, and citrus. Marinating the salmon for at least 30 minutes before cooking helps infuse it with flavors.
  • Cooking Methods: Salmon can be cooked using various methods, including baking, grilling, pan-frying, or poaching. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of the salmon and the desired level of doneness.
  • Don't Overcook: Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily become dry if overcooked. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 155°F (68°C) for medium.
  • Pairings: Salmon pairs well with a variety of side dishes such as roasted vegetables, grilled asparagus, quinoa, or a fresh green salad.
