Aoraki Salmon - The Taste of Summer
Summer and salmon make for a perfect culinary duo. The season's warmth aligns seamlessly with the rich flavour and versatility of salmon. Whether you want a light and refreshing meal or a hearty and satisfying one, salmon can deliver.
And no one knows this better than the folk at Aoraki Salmon who have been producing smoked salmon for Kiwis for over 20 years. This year, just in time for summer they’ve launched a BBQ & Horopito Dry Rubbed Hot Smoked Salmon product. This delicious salmon is a beautiful balance of flavours - a touch of sweetness, a bit of tanginess, and a hint of spice from our native Horopito. Aoraki’s smokehouse masters have further enhanced the BBQ flavours by smoking it with apple wood, which adds a mild and sweet smokiness.
Another standout product from Aoraki is their award winning, limited edition Pōhutukawa Hot Smoked Fillet. Designed for sharing, it is perfect as the centre piece of your table. In fact, the fillet has now replaced the traditional Christmas ham for many kiwis. Inspired by memories of fun family holidays at the beach, the fillet is a classic kiwi-style blend of blackstrap molasses and Pōhutukawa wood smoke to create a rich and smoky treat to delight the taste buds.
If you’re craving a bit of salmon at breakfast or as a quick snack, then look no further than Aoraki Salmon’s dangerously addictive Smoky Salmon Spread. A gold medal winner at the 2022 New Zealand Artisan Awards, the spread is a delicious blend of their Pōhutukawa Hot Smoked Salmon, cream cheese and lemon juice, this moreish spread will have you coming back for more. Enjoy it with toasted bagels or serve it with vegetable sticks, rice crackers or grainy toast triangles. Or use the spread to turn your humble club sandwiches into something a bit posher!
So, if you’re looking to enhance the joys of summer eating, whether it’s a backyard barbeque with friends and family or simple snack, make Aoraki Salmon your go-to!
