All 7 Salmon Dishes

Gravlax

Ved Stranden 10

Indre By·$$

DKK85.00

House-cured gravlax served with rye bread and crème fraîche.

Tip: Order this first to cleanse the palate before your wine selection—the acidity works as a natural reset.

Smoked Salmon with Asparagus

Lumskebugten

Indre By·$$$

DKK135.00

Cold-smoked salmon with fresh asparagus and hollandaise on rye bread.

Tip: This appears only when asparagus is in season—ask if it's on the menu before ordering.

Cold Smoked Salmon Smørrebrød

Aamann's Copenhagen

Østerbro·$$$

DKK175.00

Hiddenfjord cold-smoked salmon on rye with capers, crème fraîche, and horseradish.

Tip: If you've never tried smørrebrød, this is a forgiving choice—the salmon is mild, and the horseradish is just a whisper rather than a punch.

Salmon Rillette with Skorzonera

Norrlyst

Indre By·$$

DKK130.00

Salmon rillette with skorzonera roots, crispy cabbage, apple and dill on rye bread.

Tip: This is a lighter option if you want to try two different preparations — pair it with the herring for a quick, satisfying lunch that won't slow your afternoon.

Six-Day House-Smoked Salmon

Kadeau

Christianshavn·$$$$

DKK850.00

Bornholm's heritage salmon — slow-smoked for six days with a sauce of Havgus cheese and buttermilk whey, topped with rosehip and wood ant pesto and pickled elderflower.

Tip: This dish defines Kadeau. Even if you order the full tasting menu, the salmon course is the emotional center of the meal and what locals and returning diners expect.

Smoked Salmon with Dillemulsion

Norrlyst

Indre By·$$

DKK145.00

Cold-smoked Icelandic salmon with dillemulsion, cucumber and Danish apples on rye bread.

Tip: Ask for a recommendation on which schnapps or local beer pairs best with your smørrebrød — Norrlyst has curated selection from local Danish breweries.

Smoked Salmon with Crème Fraîche

Hallernes Smørrebrød

Indre By·$$

DKK115.00

Cold-smoked salmon with crème fraîche, capers, and onion rings on rye bread.
