Savoury cakes/loaves/quick breads really deserve to be more popular. Wouldn’t you love to have a slice of flavourful something that tastes like a mix between the most delicious gourmet sandwich and cake?

Add a cold glass of beer or some wine and I think I’d be in heaven. As much as I love cheese, I love carbs even more and savoury cake is my absolutely favourite appetizer!

Different kinds of Savoury Cakes

I make various savoury cakes often. I wrote about my Blue cheese, pear and walnut cake recipe many moons ago.

I posted Blue Cheese, Pecans and Dates Bread relative recently.

I also love savoury muffins, like these Savoury Herbs and Cheese Muffins.

And today I am sharing Smoked Salmon and Dill Savoury Cake with you.

Delicious Roundup of 16 Budget Friendly Smoked Salmon Recipes

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, then you know that I love smoked salmon and I also love using it in a way that is budget friendly, for example, Affordable Canned and Smoked Salmon Rillettes or Smoked Salmon Croissant Strata.

Here’s a delicious roundup of 16 delicious Budget-Friendly Smoked Salmon Recipes.

How to make Smoked Salmon and Dill Savoury Cake

This recipe, like many other that I have on the site, uses very little smoked salmon for maximum flavour. It is also a one-bowl recipe.

• Chop the dill and smoked salmon
• Grate the cheese
• In a large bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients
• Add the dry ingredients and lightly mix
• Add the chopped dill, smoked salmon, and grated cheese
• Pour into prepared baking pans and bake

Easy-peasy!

How to enjoy Smoked Salmon and Dill Savoury Cake

I recommend this Smoked Salmon and Dill Savoury Cake with a glass of white wine.

It’ll also be perfect as part of a seafood platter when you are entertaining.

You can bake the loaf (or mini loaves like I did for the photos) a day before thus saving time and energy right before you have people over.

It’s great to serve alongside a seafood bisque.

How to store Smoked Salmon Savoury Cake

You can store this Savoury Cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, although I recommend eating it within 3-5 days as the cake will get a bit dry the longer it sits.

And if you have any dill leftovers, check out my mind-blowing trick how to store herbs for many weeks.

Notes

My oven notoriously takes longer to bake everything, so I'd start checking after about 35-40 minutes.

 

I personally do not add salt or pepper into this Smoked Salmon and Dill Savoury Cake. I find that there's enough salt in cheese and smoked salmon but I also like less salty foods. So, you could add 1/4 teaspoon of salt if you'd like.
