Salmon has been a staple food source in the Netherlands for centuries, readily available from the Rhine and other rivers. While wild salmon populations dwindled significantly due to pollution and dams, efforts to reintroduce them are ongoing. Historically, salting, smoking, and pickling were common preservation methods, influencing modern preparations.

Dutch salmon dishes typically emphasize the natural flavor of the fish, often enhanced with simple, fresh ingredients. Expect a balance of savory, slightly sweet, and sometimes tangy notes.
Common flavor profiles include: buttery and rich from the salmon itself; dill and lemon, providing freshness and acidity; mustard, adding a tangy kick; and a hint of sweetness from brown sugar or honey, particularly in smoked or glazed preparations. Smoked zalm features a distinctive smoky flavor. Ingredients such as crème fraîche or yogurt can contribute a creamy texture and subtle tang.

Sourcing High-Quality Salmon
Opt for sustainably sourced salmon whenever possible. Fresh, wild-caught salmon (if available and affordable) offers superior flavor, but responsibly farmed salmon is a good alternative.
Proper Curing and Smoking
When making gravlax or smoked salmon, precise curing times and temperatures are crucial for food safety and optimal flavor development. Use a reliable recipe and follow instructions carefully.
Pairing with Complementary Flavors
Salmon pairs well with dill, lemon, mustard, capers, and crème fraîche. Consider serving it with rye bread, potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
