Salmon Roe Recipes: Simple Ways to Serve Ikura

Salmon roe does not need complicated preparation. Its texture, salinity and color are strongest when it is used as a chilled finishing ingredient on simple foods.

Easy ways to serve salmon roe

  • Blini: add crème fraîche and chilled roe just before serving.
  • Eggs: finish scrambled eggs, deviled eggs or eggs Benedict with roe after the hot components are cooked.
  • Rice: spoon ikura over seasoned rice for a simple bowl.
  • Toast: pair with butter, cream cheese or avocado and mild herbs.
  • Potatoes: use roe on warm baby potatoes or potato pancakes with a cool creamy element.
  • Seafood: add roe after scallops, shrimp or fish have been cooked and plated.

Choose the roe for the dish

Different salmon species and processing styles can produce different egg size, firmness, salt level and flavor. Compare Chum, Coho, King and Pink salmon caviar, or browse the full Red Caviar collection.
