Smoked Salmon Gnocchi

Image

This Smoked Salmon Gnocchi is made with real salmon and smoked salmon cream cheese and hits all the creamy notes.

My Smoked Salmon Gnocchi is made with fresh basil, parsley, lemon juice and whole milk. I prefer to use milk instead of cream because the cream cheese is creamy enough.

SALMON GNOCCHI

Think VALENTINES or DATE night with this one!

Since Valentines is just around the corner, I could not help myself but share this recipe with you all. The first time I had Salmon Gnocchi was actually on Valentines day a few years back.

I was  in the lower mainland and the restaurant my partner took me to was serving it as there special for the evening.

Along with white wine and the most amazing dessert! It was a memorable dinner for me and it was definitely worth the cost.

However, I have found a way to make it at home for a fraction of the cost. Now we can enjoy it whenever and not just on those special occasions!

SMOKED SALMON GNOCCHI 

You can choose to make it without the salmon fillets if desired, however I find they are a nice addition and make this more of a meal. I also love the addition of the “Smoked Salmon Cream Cheese” in this dish.

I was hesitant at first to add it, but I experimented a few times and found that 3 tbsp is the perfect amount that gives this dish the extra flavor it needs.

It really does add an extra element of flavor so be sure not to skip it. Also by adding the cream cheese you can omit the cream and replace it for a lower calorie milk option.  

Serve it in a BOWL or on a PLATE whatever tickles your FANCY!

Me having fun with the plating, don’t this look lovely!

Bon appetite!

Leave a comment

I just love these crispy herb crusted salmon fillets, not only are they super delicious there also super healthy for you and easy to make. 

That is why I love home cooking, because you can make healthy home cooked meals from scratch.

Such as this tasty fish and feel satisfied knowing exactly what is going into your meal.

I used to occasional buy those pre boxed fish, you know what I’m talking about?

Those frozen battered kinds in the freezer section at every grocery store. 

Well those days are over.., and i think if you try this recipe. You will feel the same way too!

Even though I am a food blogger, I can admit that their is some recipes that do intimate me. 

And i guess it is because I have never tried to make them. But being a food blogger I get to have a few trial and errors before I share my winning recipe with you all.

And that is how this recipe, came to be. 

Over the years though, I have developed much more confidence to tackle almost any type of recipes. Such as homemade breaded fish!

Doesn’t this look 100% better than any store bought or boxed breaded fish?

And so much healthier too I bet. 

HOW TO BREAD FISH

It’s as simple as emptying 1 package of extra crispy shake and bake into a shallow bowl.

Along with 1 cup of panko bread crumbs, brown sugar and seasonings.

Then coat the salmon fillets before baking at 400 degrees f for 15 minutes then that is it. 

This super flaky and moist salmon dinner is ready to be served with your favorite vegetable such as sauteed kale and a fresh lemon wedge of course.

 

This is the kind of shake n bake that I use for this recipe!

Place onto a non stick pan and your good to GO!

Serve alongside your favorite vegetable and you will will have one healthy and tasty meal!

You can’t go wrong with this simple yet flavorful dish that is sure to make you a salmon lover for life. 

As with any of my recipes, you can adjust the serving size above to reflect the number of people you are cooking for.
