Smoked salmon brunch ideas: eggs, rösti, blini and a warm salad

Ready-to-eat salmon makes brunch easy. Which type should you use? Read cold-smoked or hot-smoked salmon. Here are five ideas.

1. Scrambled eggs with cold-smoked salmon

Scramble eggs gently in butter, take them off the heat while still creamy and top with ribbons of cold-smoked salmon, chives and pepper.

2. Rösti with gravlax

A Swiss favourite meets a Swedish one: serve crisp potato rösti with slices of gravlax, a spoon of crème fraîche and dill.

3. Blini with smoked salmon

Small warm pancakes with crème fraîche, salmon, dill and lemon. A spoon of roe makes it a party.

4. Warm salad with hot-smoked salmon

Flake warm-smoked salmon over boiled new potatoes, salad leaves and a horseradish cream.

5. Open sandwiches

Dark bread, butter, salmon, cucumber slices and dill. See also a Swedish breakfast and five quick Swedish seafood lunches.
