A beautiful tray of Norwegian smoked salmon.
Norwegian smoked salmon is a premium product that has conquered tables around the world. Norway, with its cold, clean waters, offers the ideal environment for farming this prized fish, ensuring quality and flavour in every slice.
The tradition of smoking salmon in Norway dates back centuries, when it was used as a method of preservation. Today, this technique has been perfected, combining traditional methods with modern technology to obtain a product of the highest quality. The salmon is raised in controlled conditions, respecting rigorous environmental and animal welfare standards.
Norwegian smoked salmon is known for its high content of omega-3 fatty acids, essential for heart and brain health. It is also an excellent source of protein, B vitamins, vitamin D and minerals such as phosphorus and selenium. These nutrients contribute to a balanced diet and provide numerous health benefits.
The smoking process begins with the selection of the best salmon, which is then salted and left to rest to absorb the salt evenly. The salmon is then cold or hot smoked, using fine woods such as beech or oak, which give the fish its characteristic aroma and delicate flavor.
Norwegian smoked salmon is incredibly versatile in the kitchen. It can be served as an appetizer, accompanied by brown bread and butter, or used to enhance salads, pasta and sushi. Its soft texture and smoky flavor make it an ideal ingredient for refined and creative dishes.
Norway is a world leader in sustainable salmon farming. Norwegian farms follow rigorous practices to minimize environmental impact, while ensuring the health and well-being of the fish. This commitment to sustainability makes Norwegian smoked salmon a responsible choice for environmentally conscious consumers.

Smoked salmon is a food made from preserved salmon, which is cured and smoked. Usually, salmon of the species Salmo salar (Atlantic salmon) is used, but Oncorhynchus masou (Japanese salmon) or other species of the genus Oncorhynchus are sometimes used. Smoked salmon has a long history in Native American cultures. Smoked salmon was also a common dish in Greek and Roman culture throughout history, often eaten at large gatherings and celebrations. During the Middle Ages, smoked salmon became part of the diet of the people and was consumed in soups and salads. The 19th century marked the rise of the American smoked salmon industry on the West Coast, processing Pacific salmon from Alaska and Oregon.

Smoked salmon is one of the most popular and versatile ingredients in the kitchen. Thanks to its unique flavor and delicate texture, it is perfect for enriching a wide range of dishes, from appetizers to first and second courses.
The smoking process of salmon dates back to ancient times, when it was used to preserve fish for longer. Today, salmon is smoked using modern techniques that guarantee a high-quality product.

Salmon Penne, the recipe

Penne al salmone, la ricetta

Penne with salmon, the recipe.
At my house, Christmas Eve dinner is almost always penne with salmon.
Today I decided to write you my home recipe.

Ingredients (I won't indicate the quantities of the ingredients as they vary greatly depending on taste):
– Smoked salmon
– Olive oil
– Onion
– Brandy (or you can vary with vodka)
– Cream
– Parsley
– Penne rigate

First, boil some salted water to cook the pasta and in the meantime prepare the sauce to season it.
In a pan, heat the oil and the finely chopped onion to make a little soffritto.
Once the onion starts to brown, add the smoked salmon that we previously cut into strips (or into pieces, depending on your taste); just enough time to heat the salmon and deglaze with brandy (or vodka) and, once the liquid has evaporated, turn off the heat.
Now wait for the pasta to be ready; a minute before the pasta is ready, add the cream to the pan with the salmon and turn on the heat; do not add too much cream now, if you see that the pasta is too dry you can always add a little later. The cream must not cook but only heat up slightly.
Add the pasta and sauté everything for a couple of minutes adding the chopped parsley. I don't like parsley so you won't see it in my photos.
And that's it: the dish is ready!

Smoked Salmon Prepared in Germany

Salmone affumicato

Smoked salmon prepared in Germany.
Several months ago I came across these ovens for smoking salmon. I was in Warnemunde, Germany, and along the small canal at the port there were many street food kiosks selling sandwiches and skewers with smoked salmon.
Next to each of these kiosks there was one or more ovens for drying salmon.
