Waffled Potato Blini with Smoked Salmon

For this recipe, Food & Wine's Justin Chapple cooks a shredded potato mixture in a waffle iron until a crisp, golden blini forms, and then tops it with smoked salmon and a generous dollop of sour cream. Dill adds a double dose of freshness to the dish when mixed into the blini and used as a garnish, too. The blini make a satisfying breakfast or brunch—if you'd like, pair them with a glass of Champagne to take things to the next level.

Salmon Martini

Smoked salmon-infused gin and a caperberry garnish channel all the bagel and lox vibes into a balanced, brunch-perfect cocktail in this play on a dirty martini. Served at Bar Moruno in Los Angeles, a Spanish-inspired wine and cocktail bar, this signature martini is a nod toward the rest of the restaurant's menu, which is full of Spanish conservas and preserved fish. While it takes around three weeks to fully infuse the flavor of cold smoked salmon into dry gin, the result is a luscious, unique, and delicious spirit that can be used in a variety of cocktails.

Potato Pancakes with Smoked Salmon Caviar and Dill Cream

Although Wolfgang Puck is best known for putting smoked salmon, caviar and dill-flecked crème fraîche on his designer pizzas, he also loves this trio of toppings with his exceptionally crispy potato pancakes, a dish he makes frequently when cooking at home. All three garnishes are wonderfully decadent together; still, you can leave out the smoked salmon or the caviar.

Mini Herb Frittatas with Smoked Salmon

Loosen the sides of the frittata with a spatula and gently turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining oil and eggs.

Grilled Salmon Fillet

Using a foil pan will prevent the fillets from sticking to the grill grates as they cook. However, if you skip the pan, make sure to clean the grill grates and lightly oil them before preheating the grill. Alternatively, you can use grilling tools and accessories like a grilling basket or cedar plank, which is fantastic for added flavor and easy handling.

Creamy Dill Sauce for Salmon

Creamy dill sauce complements so many other types of meat and even vegetables. It plays well with the charred flavor of grilled seafood recipes. Because potato salad recipes often feature a thick, creamy dressing that looks and tastes a lot like this sauce, it would be a natural replacement, especially if you have leftover dill sauce in the fridge.
