Hot Smoked SALMON & Asparagus | Bart van Olphen 

During our hot summer time (yes it can be very warm downton Montreal sometimes!), I love to make a quick cold salmon, dill cucumber, fennel and arugula salad. I simply thinly slice a cucumber and a fennel bulb. For the dressing, I combine olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, fresh dill (or the fennel leaves), a teaspoon of old-fashionned mustard, and a bit of maple syrup (or honey, or any sugar of your choice!). I combine all the ingredients together with the salmon and I serve it on arugula. Voilà! Perfect for a last minute week-day dinner. Simple humble ingredients, made in no-time yet DE-LI-CIOUS! Thank you Bart for your great fish & seafood recipes - I love watching your videos.

Bart's Fish Tales - This is why I look forward to friday mornings. What a simple, elegant and delicious recipe. Can't wait to try it out. Thanks Bart. The only think I would change would be to add a little lemon zest and juice to the melted butter to give everything a bit of freshness and zing and to cut through the richness.

F* spot on with the season ! love that

Being a student, my cooking knowledge and experience isn't amazing but I do have a favorite salmon recipe that's both simple and delicious. It consists of placing a salmon skin on aluminum foil, seasoning it with pepper, salt, dried herbs and placing sliced lemons and butter on top. The foil is folded and placed on a grill. I always use a fairly low heat for a soft and silky texture. After grilling for around 20-30 minutes. During the last 5-10 minutes, I open the aluminum foil to pour a bit of Chardonnay inside and place a few parsley stems around the fish . Then I close the foil again and let it finish grilling. Served with a war , grilled baguette with garlic butter and capers, it's a perfect year-round meal for dinner and a specially enjoyable one for summer evening :)

And this is exactly my favourite marinated salmon recipe!

Mustard Salmon! Mix fish with marinade: yogurt+mustard powder+turmeric+salt+water for 5 minutes. Add mustard oil+green chillies and bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Dinner! Awesome recipe Bart!

My favourite way to use tinned salmon is in fish cakes. I use a couple of eggs, couple tablespoons of flour, spring onions, garlic, parsley and salt/pepper. I eat it with steamed fresh potatoes, steamed asparagus and finely chopped carrots on the side. As sauce I use the oil from the pan :) dead simple, dead easy and very healthy. Have a nice, day and thanks for the video.

Simplicity at it's delicious best. Great stuff indeed.

I enjoy using canned salmon to make Japanese rice balls. It's incredibly simple and satisfying. I mix with cooked short grain rice sesame oil, dried seaweed bits, sesame seeds, tinned salmon and salt to taste. Great for an on the go snack!

Wonderful dish. So hungry now

My favorite way to eat tinned salmon: I dont have the exact measurments, but I make a simple teryaki sauce, some fresh herbs and mix it with noodles(or spaghetti if I dont have any noodles) and the salmon. Then sprinkle some fresh spring onions and roasted seasam seeds on top for presentations. I also love to have some kind of woked vegetables for a side dish. Great and a amazing way to use tinned salmon. Tastes like heaven. Also, congratulations on your book launch! Looking forward for more amazing recipies and inspiration from you!

Upvoted! Both salmon and asparagus are favourites of me... and the eggs and melted parsley butter give the dish a classic touch! I never tried it with smoked salmon, tho... That's the new idea I take away from your video, thanks! ...and I never eat tinned salmon, not even in salads, sorry! I microwave fresh salmon in such a case (2 times 20sec with 3 minutes in between). Perfect flakiness and never overcooked.

wow! amazing

A great recipe using tinned salmon is a simple salmon salad with miso paste, lemon white pepper and some coriander. Greetings from the Canary Islands

I love canned salmon briefly pan fried with a bit if soy sauce, chili flakes and a squeeze of lemon/lime juice, served on top of white basmati rice or noodles with a scattering of coriander and those lovely pan juices! You can add some veggies like broccoli to health it up a bit too! It really is a thing of beauty .... And really simple so a definite win-win situation :D

Congratulations on the book! I used canned salmon for a couple things. Salmon salad sandwiches, mixed with diced pickles, shallot, and mayonnaise. Canned salmon is also very good in a curry. Just prepare your masala gravy, toss in the salmon, and eat!

Mix arugula with lemon juice and sea salt then place the bed of greens on a plate. Place tin salmon (mash it a little to bite sized pieces) on top of arugula with some capers and finish off with a little bit of red wine vinegar and shaved parmesan/little balls of buffalo mozzarella goes well with this dish too. I like using canned salmon with oil instead of it in brine, because it saves me from drizzling more olive oil on my plate of salad, and the oil from the can gives it a nice finish and taste, I only use a little of the oil, not all of it. Perfect for dinner when you're too tired to cook after a whole day of work, and somewhat healthy too! I used to be skeptical about canned fishes (in general) but now I seem to love them, easy to use when you're out of fresh salmon in your fridge. :)

Simple salmon ceviche with jalapeño, coriander, salt, pepper, hot sauce, diced ginger, and lime. Serve on top of some white rice. Perfect, refreshing, and best of all healthy

My favorite canned salmon recipe: Salmon salad melt. I use canned wild, red sockeye salmon and create a salmon salad by combining it with red onion, avocado, fresh dill, some mayonnaise, salt and pepper, and I add a Caribbean scotch-bonnet pepper-based hot sauce for flavor and kick. Generously spread the salmon salad onto each half of an everything bagel, or english muffin, or slice of sourdough bread with crust. Add thinly sliced tomato and swiss or cheddar cheese slice to the top, place under broiler for just about 5 minutes. Amazing :D

Salmon cubes with cherry tomatoes, garlic and basil mixed in pasta mezze maniche. Don't forget the olive oil.

Oh v nice barts i like it so much n try at my home its so nice

I love buying smoked salmon but I never know how to turn it into a full meal thanks for the great idea Bart!

simple and good

Salmon and fennel pasta, really easy to make and perfect for a week day. Sweating some finely diced garlic and onion on a low heat til soft. some thyme and roughly chopped fennel (without the green bits) when tender adding the (tinned or fresh) salmon and a bit of heavy cream (salt and pepper to taste). Toast some fennel seeds in a separate pan while cooking the pasta. Combine the pasta with the sauce and add the chopped fennel green and toasted fennel seeds. Enjoy =)

Enjoyed this one for my weekly Fisherman's Friday themed lunch. While Hubby's a potato lover, for my lower carb diet I subśituted white turnips for my plate and everyone was happy, lol. Thanks for the upload!

Because of me being a poor student I don't get much fish. But when I do I often like to make either a risotto with salmon and limon or a simple pasta with cherry tomatoes, salmon and a bit if olive oil. And maybe a bit of basil leaves on top. But honestly I'm way better at cooking with canned tuna :-)

Love what you do Bart! So looking forward to your new cookbook. And I'll be making this recipe for dinner tonight ;) One of my favorite recipes for tinned/smoked salmon is really a non-recipe. Avocado + Toast + Onion + Salmon + Aleppo, Salt, and Pepper. Delish. Sometimes I even go nuts and add a spot of basil pesto. Side salad to round it out and dinner is done!

Modular Fast Canned Fish Pasta (Salmon, Tuna, or Sardines work great) This recipe can be easily adapted to use up little bits of anything leftover. Make sure to verify the contents of your canned tomatoes if you decide to use them. Cook time is around 16 minutes start to finish. 1. Begin boiling water. Continue with the recipe as you wait for it to boil. Once it boils, add salt and return it to boil. Add oil if boiling in a smaller pan. Add the pasta (I like penne for this). Boil the pasta, stirring every 2 minutes or so, until 1 minute under package directions. Drain the pasta, but do not wash it. 2. Olive oil in a pan (if your fish came in olive oil, use that) Note: Don't be stingy with the olive oil, it is one of the main flavor components of the dish 3. Add chile or chile paste for heat, and if you are using dried herbs, use them after the oil is slightly heated up. Oregano, basil, a single bay leaf, anything you would want with pasta that isn't overpowering to seafood. Also add any long cooking vegetables you might want to add with a pinch of salt to draw out moisture. (I will often use half a medium onion or bell peppers). 4. Cook those on medium heat until softened. This will be very fast if no vegetables were added. 5. Add chopped/minced garlic to taste. I usually use between 3-5 cloves. 6. After one minute, add the canned fish. Break it up slightly to integrate the other ingredients. 7. After 2-3 minutes, add one tin of tomatoes. You can use fresh tomatoes chopped up here if you fancy, but cans are convenient. Keep in mind that your canned tomatoes may come with herb in them. Adjust accordingly. 8. If you like a smoother texture, use a masher to crush the tomatoes. Add fresh herbs if you use them. Reduce the liquid content until there is only some left for the pasta to finish cooking in and absorb. Taste for seasoning. Add salt and pepper as desired. 9. Add the drained pasta and mix slightly. Let the pasta finish cooking and absorb the majority of the liquid left over. You can add a splash of milk here to give a more inviting color and mellow out the heat of the chiles if desired. 10. Serve with Parmesan if desired. You could even finish it in the oven with cheese or breadcrumbs on top if you want to play with textures.

I havent eaten a lot of salmon (its quite expensive for my college budget) but i enjoy it smoked with a bit of mayonnaise with chives and a side of salad.

Nice looking dish to try, don't remember seeing white asparagus before, so that will be a new one to look out for.just found a couple of places to get brown shrimp, so have had shrimp and scrambled egg for breakfast for the first time and it was very good. Funny thing is i don't think we have ever had tinned salmon before either, had tinned tuna and made them into fishcakes, have to try salmon next time. Thank you Bart.

I go classic: pasta (penne, ... just not spaghetti) cooked al dente, add the zest and juice of 1 lemon with some olive oil and a little basil and some lachs (tinned salmon is hard to come by over here in switzerland) + salt/pepper. let it sit for a few minutes until the pasta has absorbed some of the lemony flavor and serve :)

My favourite salmon recipe is too put it in the microwave for 37 seconds and eat it.

It's hard for me to choose my favorite way to use tinned salmon. I've made delicious salmon cakes with them, and they were so delicious! And another time I made basically a tuna noodle casserole, but realized I didn't have canned tuna, so I subbed the canned salmon and it was surprisingly better. It added a great flavor. :) Anyway, as always - it looks delicious!!

It has to be the gravad lax,i loved it!

so yummy eh.

Congrats on the book launch Bart! Thank you for taking us with you all over the world and seeing you cook with sustainable and fresh seafood. Keep them coming! My favourite canned salmon recipe would be salmon frittata. Eggs, fresh chives, tinned salmon, maybe some broccoli, topped with cheese, fresh rocket/arugula and squeeze of lemon juice.

Hi Bart, Here's a tinned salmon recipe I created that's great for the holidays or for dinner parties. It's a Sockeye Salmon Cheese Ball or Log. Drain most of the liquid from one can of sockeye salmon, reserving one TBSP of the canning liquid and bring 250g of cream cheese to room temp. Beat room temp. cream cheese with a spoon until soft, mix in sockeye salmon and 1 TBSP canning liquid, add 1 TBSP finely minced shallot, white pepper to taste and 2 TBSP. chopped fresh parsley. Usually the tinned salmon has enough salt so that no additional salt is needed. Mix together and refrigerate for an hour. Take out of the fridge and form into a ball or log, roll into chopped, toasted almonds. Serve with a variety of crackers or firm breads.

Basically just plain Smoked Salmon Hope i win the book :D

a good recepi with salmon is to just roast the salmon on a campfire with lemon and some dille (and of course salt/pepper). then you can mix it some pasta and some sour cream to make a really good pasta. It is not the hardest recipe but i find it the best one.

open a can of tinned cooked ocra (bamia)in tomato sauce and a can of salmon boil for a minute or two in casserole and enjoy

Hi Bart's Fish Tales ! I am a huuuge fan of yours. well one of my favorite salmon recipe is : Smoked salmon Pizza (I like pizza and I love salmon, so those two together are like HEAVEN for me)! I hope I will be able to win, because I don't think I will ever be able to find your book here in Morocco. good luck everyone ^^ .

Bart! That is amazing! A good wholesome meal, elegant but nourishing. Mad skill as always sir. Congrats on the book, a publication well deserved! A rather odd question, but any vegetation seafood recipes you'd recommend? (I bet there's some in your book haha)

Bart, what knife is that you're using?

Erg goed! Ga ik vandaag uitproberen.

tinned salmon recipe? my husband makes delicious simple salmon patties, but i make a salmon salad that i grew up with that is simple, economical and i think delicious. its so simple it may not warrant a recipe. my mom would feed a family of four with this recipe. first you hard boil, or soft boil if that is your preference, four eggs (one per person). then you make pot of white rice. you take a can of tinned salmon and open it. you drain the salmon and if it has bones you can remove them, then place in the center of a platter. i like using an oval platter for presentation. then take lettuce, any kind of lettuce and place in bite-sized pieces around the perimeter of your salmon. remember this is to feed three to four people so use plenty. then take two or three tomatoes and cut into wedges and place on top of the lettuce around the perimeter of the salad. finally you take the hopefully now cooled and shelled hard boiled eggs and slice in half and arrange around the perimeter of the salad interspersed between the tomatoes. then serve everyone some rice and let them help themselves to the salad, which our family put on top of the rice with a drizzle of olive oil. we didn't use any lemon or acidic component, but i'm sure that's optional.

Dumplings with salmon and sour cream
