Houston’s home smoked salmon is truly some kind of wonderful. Served with Melba toast and homemade tartar sauce, the salmon is meaty, silky smooth and so light on the palate that it reminds me of Kobe beef. We’re not talking thin slices of smoked salmon here but an actual large fillet of fish that you can really dig into. It’s cured for structure, but the smoked flavor is not overpowering. Even though it’s a starter, the portion is big enough to be a main, but it’s great to share as an appetizer while you wait for the rest of your meal.

Houston’s smoked salmon is seriously the best stuff I have ever tasted in my life. I crave it constantly. ... the funny thing is that I don’t even generally like salmon at ALL. I have no idea how they make this stuff, but it’s truly amazing. I’m glad that someone else appreciates this as much as I do.

It is the best I have ever tasted./
Can I have the recipe to make it at
home when Houston’s is too crowded?

That’s a good idea! If you manage to get the recipe from Houston’s please share it with us!
