1. use smoked salmon a lot in the summer, because it's a good, easy source of protein without having to heat up the house with the broiler or stand over a fiery grill.
I like to make a pasta dish with it. Cook the pasta (bowtie or rotini work best). Add chopped spinach, tomatoes, asparagus (sauteed) and other veggies to your liking. Mix with olive oil, cheese (mozz, parm, or whatever you prefer), garlic, and other spices to taste. Add chunks of smoked salmon. I also like to do a creamy sauce and add something crunchy like walnuts.
It can be served hot, or chilled and served as a pasta salad.
