Back to basics - Salmon Companions

A good garnish adds flavour and decorative appeal to your meal. Whether you use salmon as the base or the garnish, your basics like rice, pasta, noodles and bacon all serve well when combined with salmon.

Bacon

Cooked until golden brown, bacon adds another popular smokey flavour alongside fresh salmon in pasta or salads. Suits: whole, filleted or portioned salmon, cold-smoked salmon.

Tip: add crisp diced bacon for a quick salad made from whole-baked salmon leftovers. Use with rocket, lettuce, shredded semi-dried tomatoes, and a little red pepper pesto as a dressing.

Pasta

Pasta acts like a sponge and soaks up the salmon juices, sauces or dressings for extra flavour. Suits: whole, filleted or portioned salmon, cold-smoked salmon, hot-smoked salmon. Tip: great base for salads
