Default uses for nova lox

We've got a huge, Costco-size tub of Nova Lox bits in the fridge. I've
already made lox and cream cheese spread for bagels, eggs with lox and
onions, and a lox, cream cheese and chive omelette.

What else can I make with lox? I can't do salmon pinwheels, becasue
it's the chopped bits, not the long slices. I was thinking about
playing around with a recipe for a lox quiche. I've found in the past
that lox is a little too moist and salty to use in a creamy smoked
salmon pasta sauce.

Ideas? Recipes?

Thanks!

Makes a nice soup. Make a court bouillon (very light on the salt) and
poach the fish in it. Doesn't take much to get the flavor, like 1/2
cup of trimmings to a quart of liquid. Add some fresh green onions.
Lovely.

Why not mix the chopped lox with cream cheese?

BUT! They didn't say that they'd used cream cheese to bind the lox so that
it could be spread on the tortillas for .... wait. I'll bet they were
talking about pinwheels without a bread-like substance involved.

Never mind,

I like the soup idea. Sounds very unusual; I'll give it a whirl.

The other iudeas sounds pretty redundant...I'm getting sick of the
lox/eggs and the lox/.cream cheese combo.

You can toss it in freshly cooked pasta without making a sauce. If it
is quite salty just use less of it.

lomi salmon (hawaii):

4 oz of lox
1 tomato
1/2 cucumber
1 bunch of green onions
2 tsp of sesame seed oil.

chop lox finely, dice tomato and cucumber into small cubes, and snip
green onions with kitchen scissors into small ringlets. toss well with
sesame seed oil and chill in fridge.

when ready to serve, you can also add a little crush ice. spoon a
little for each person as a side.

enjoy!

Lox and eggs is a great breakfast. Sauté a chopped onion until it is
translucent, chop the salmon into small pieces (don't know what sized
your Costco sells), add it to the eggs, and put the entire thing into a
hot fry pan lubricated with a little butter or olive oil. You can make
a frittata (unturned Italian omelet, or an American style omelet ,or you
can scramble the entire thing. This very good with a toasted onion
bagel - a real one, not Wonder bread with a hole in it.

Another use is a salmon and vodka pasta. Make a cream sauce using vodka
and cream, or use a non fat version of béchamel if you are fat conscious
(see the recipe on The Artisan). Flavor with tarragon - fresh if you
have it - and a single minced garlic clove. Set aside. Cook the pasta
al dente, add the cream sauce and the salmon, stir vigorously over
medium heat, and eat immediately. If you like this and need more
details, send ma a note and I will provide a specific recipe.
). this can be made in a number of
variations. We first had it near Macerata, Italy at a restaurant in the
Villa Quiete.

I don't know why this appears to be addressed to me. I was one of many
who gave answers.

BTW, I don't have a Costco. I make my own lox (gravlax) from wild King
Salmon.

OF course you can do pinwheels. Just spread the bits out on the base
and roll.

Used half the lox in today's brunch!

I made a quiche. Recipe something like this:

1 pie crust (i use frozen)
1 small log goat cheese rolled in herbs
1/2 onion, sauteed
4 oz lox bits, minced
2 sandwich-slices (probably 1 1/2 oz total) swiss cheese, shredded
1/2 t salt, 1/2 t pepper
1 t tarragon
3 eggs
1/2 c half and half
1/2 c milk

1. In pie crust, place: sauteed onions, 3/4 of the log of goat cheese,
shredded swiss, and lox bits.

2. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, half and half, milk, and seasonings.

3. Pour egg mixture into pie crust.

4. Top with remaining goat cheese.

5. Bake for 45 minutes at 375 degrees in preheated oven.

6. Let stand 5 minutes to set before serving.

Served with Cinnamon Nut Rolls:

1. Unroll a package of crescent roll dough.

2. Spread each triangle of dough with butter. Sprinkle with
cinnamon-sugar. Cover with finely minced pecans or walnuts.

3. bake according to package directions.

And seved with fresh Florida grapefruit halves.

Delicios!
I'm definitely looking forward to trying that Hawaiian salad recuipe
too. that sounds great!

Right. I meant the pinwheels wherethe cream cheese is spread directly
on slices of smoked salmon, no bread or tortilla. We love those!

Why do you insist on looking for something after you've found it? There
is no better way to eat lox than on a bagel with cream cheese or with
dark bread in place of the bagel.

Oooh, I will look for that tub! I used to buy the ends & pieces
(inexpensive & delicious) when we had a decent deli counter close by.
