This smoked salmon is pre-cooked and ready to serve. For a classic preparation, spread cream cheese on a bagel and layer the salmon slices on top.

It works well folded into pasta sauces or as a topping for crostini with capers and dill. Its delicate flavor makes it suitable for both simple and elaborate culinary creations.
How it differs from similar foods
Nova style smoking involves a cold-smoking process after a brine cure. This results in a milder, more delicate flavor and a softer texture compared to hot-smoked salmon, which is cooked through and has a firmer, flakier consistency.
