Smoked Salmon Mini Loaves
May 7th, 2009 by chuck

I’m very fortunate to be living on the West Coast of beautiful British Columbia. If you ever get the chance to visit here you will see some of the most gorgeous and stunning scenery in the world. We have many cruise ships that come through our port each year with many of the visitors saying that Vancouver has one of the best ( if not the best ) skylines in the world. On a clear day when the snow topped mountains are visible, Vancouver becomes a breathtaking experience.

We’re also very lucky to have the Pacific Ocean on our door step and a very large salmon run every year. If you go to some of the local streams in the summer/fall all you will see is red from the salmon spawning. It’s an amazing sight to see. Smoked salmon is very popular here and very reasonably priced. I just love the deep rich color of the salmon after smoking and the flavor is not so fishy anymore.

My parents are very active in the aboriginal community here. They always seem to be off on some potluck filled with amazing native foods. A friend of my mom’s gave her this recipe to give to me. She thought that the visitors to my website and blog would like these tasty smoked salmon treats. I did make a few small changes to the recipe and made them into mini loaves. The rye flour really adds a wonderful texture. The fresh dill and smoked salmon with the lemon juice is a perfect combination in these mini loaves. Each loaf is topped with a little cream cheese, fresh dill and lemon zest that really add to the flavor of these smoked salmon loaves. Hope you give them a try.

My Norwegian husband is going to a backflip when I made these!
hi, i have two questions. the first is what size are the mini-loaf pans – are they 5×3 or 4inch?
second, do these freeze?
it looks great
thanks in advance
Hi Nona,
thanks for asking the question again. I get so much email, that I think I’ve responded to a question when really I missed it. So sorry!!
I used the 4 inch mini by 1 1/2 loaf pans. You could also do them in muffin tins if you would like. As far as freezing them … well, nothing ever lasts long enough around here to freeze lol. But, I really don’t see any problems with freezing these. Like most quick bread they freeze great.
Thanks again Nona!
Take care,
Chuck
