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!

Notes: If there is skin on the salmon remove it gently once the salmon has seared.
