I'm having some trouble finding any low-fat smoked salmon recipes, and I thought that surely, the whizzes on this board could help me out. I have a ton that my dad caught in Alaska and had smoked and shipped to us, but the only thing I know to do with it is this pasta thing I made up with shiitakes and asparagus. Any other neat pasta dishes or grain things or smoked salmon main ingredient ideas would be great. I'm not really into casseroles, but I really love the stuff, and I'd like to find a new way to use it. Thanks! (Boy, I really know how to make an ISO post a long one! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/redface.gif )

A Bon Appetit Cookbook I have has two recipes for smoked salmon:
Calistoga Inn's Fettucinne w/Smoked Salmon
(it calls for 4 cups whipping cream but I'm sure you could reduce the fat by using half&half) and Smoked Salmon Tart.
I will post either or both if you're interested.

It's good in omelettes with red bell pepper and scallions and gruyere. And on bagels.

I made a pasta dish with it once--just used really thinly sliced fennel sprinkled with lemon juice and pepper, smoked salmon, and linguine tossed with olive oil.

You can also make a spread out of yogurt cheese, chives, lemon juice, and smoked salmon. It's good on pretty much anything.
