This Jewish holiday you can make lake crusted salmon for those who guests who don’t eat brisket!
Jump to Recipe
The holidays were allways so much fun growing up! Mama Goldstein made the best Jewish comfort food. We would wake up to the smell and sizzle applause of the potato lakes frying. The brisket would be tucked into a warm blanket of veggies in the oven, applesauce ready to meet it BFF latkes, and pigs in a blanket would be lined up in rows on sheet pans. Every time I cook for the holidays now I try to bring the flavors of my childhood home in NJ to my apartment in NYC! I wanted to create a recipe that combined my moms latkes with a non meat holiday recipe. I though crusting salmon with latkes was the perfect way to go! It turns out amazing and I have some fun hacks to hep along the way
Tips For the Best Latkes:
- Use russet potatoes because they are heartier and have less water content so crisp up better.
- Grate 1/2 onion into the mix. My mom did this and it literally makes the latkes amazing.
- Squeeze out excess water from potatoes. Less water more crispy the latkes will be.
- I add cheddar cheese to bind the latkes instead of eggs.
- Make a giant sheet pan of latkes in the oven to same time and work: click here for recipe!

Step 1: Mix the Latke Ingredients
Step 2: Season the salmon with salt, pepper, lemon, and smear on Dijon mustard.
Step 3: Add the latke mix and bake 400 degrees 20 minutes and then 5 minutes on top rack.
Enjoy!
Happy Cooking and hope this makes your dinner easier!

Hi would you mind stating which blog platform you're working with? I'm planning to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a hard time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique. P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
Lovely website! I am loving it!! Will be back later to read some more. I am taking your feeds also.
Aw, this was a very good post. Finding the time and actual effort to produce a great article… but what can I say… I hesitate a lot and never manage to get nearly anything done.
Good website! I really love how it is simple on my eyes and the data are well written. I am wondering how I might be notified when a new post has been made. I've subscribed to your RSS which must do the trick! Have a great day!
Wow that was strange. I just wrote an really long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn't appear. Grrrr... well I'm not writing all that over again. Regardless, just wanted to say fantastic blog!
Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates. I've been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.
Hello there, You've done an incredible job. I'll certainly digg it and for my part suggest to my friends. I'm sure they will be benefited from this website.
It's exhausting to seek out educated folks on this matter, but you sound like you know what you're talking about! Thanks
At this time it looks like Drupal is the best blogging platform available right now. (from what I've read) Is that what you are using on your blog?
May I simply say what a comfort to discover someone who really understands what they are discussing on the net. You actually know how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More and more people ought to look at this and understand this side of your story. I was surprised that you're not more popular given that you certainly possess the gift.
