Pancake cake with salmon and cheese. Pancake pie with salmon and soft cheese
For the festive table, I propose to prepare a delicious snack cake with salmon. It is prepared very quickly and easily, does not require time for impregnation, the taste is amazing, but in appearance it is so beautiful and appetizing that it is difficult to resist the temptation and not bite off at least a piece. So, I am sharing my author's recipe for salmon pancake cake.
(1 pancake cake with salmon)
- 8 pancakes
- 300-400 gr. lightly salted salmon
- 600 gr. soft cream cheese
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 tbsp sour cream
- small bunch of dill
- small bunch of parsley
- 1 tsp red caviar for decoration
- To prepare this appetizer, we need three main ingredients: pancakes, lightly salted salmon (trout) and cream cheese. We bake thick pancakes, yeast or kefir are ideal (following the links, you can see step-by-step pancake recipes).
- Salmon is best salted at home. The fish turns out to be tasty, elastic and much cheaper for money than purchased. See the recipe here.
- Cut the salted salmon into thin slices. We leave the most beautiful pieces for decorating the cake, the rest for the filling - we will have two layers of salmon. By the way, we don't eat small and ugly scraps, but put them aside, we need them according to the recipe.
- We buy cream cheese like Philadelphia or mascarpone. It is not at all necessary to buy expensive brands, any locally produced soft cream cheese will do, it is important that the cheese is not too salty.
- If the cheese is dense in texture, then to soften a little, you can add one tablespoon of sour cream. Putting is no longer desirable, otherwise the pancakes in the cake will disperse, which is not very good, because the cake must be whole.
- Divide the cheese into three parts. We leave one part as it is. Grind the second part (200 gr. Cheese) in a blender along with small and ugly pieces of salted salmon. We will get a very delicate and tasty light pink paste, which we use for the filling.
- Mix the third part of the cheese with finely chopped dill and crushed garlic clove. We put a little dill so that it only complements, and does not interrupt the taste and aroma of salmon. By the way, you can buy ready-made cream cheese with herbs, which is very convenient, especially when time is short.
- So, the salmon is cut, three cheeses are ready, you can start assembling our pancake cake. I must say right away that the order of the layers does not really matter, so here you can act at your discretion.
- So, we put the thickest pancake on the bottom, grease it with that pink paste that we made from cheese and salmon scraps. We make the layer not very thin, at least 3-4 mm.
- We put the second pancake. Spread the pancake with cheese paste with herbs. The layer is also plump.
- We put the third pancake. Lubricate it with white cheese. Here the layer can be made thinner, since it is only a connecting element. We spread the pieces of lightly salted salmon. Ideal when there is a lot of salmon and little "empty space".
- An important point! Be sure to coat the salmon slices with cheese on top, since the fish itself will not stick to the pancake. And we need the cake to be whole.
- We put the fourth pancake. Spread the cheese paste with salmon.
- Fifth pancake - spread a layer of cheese with herbs.
- The sixth pancake is a thin layer of white cheese, on which we again put pieces of salmon. Do not forget to grease the fish with cheese on top.
- And so on. We make the number of layers in the cake depending on the desired height of the cake and the prepared products. The last pancake, which will be the top of the cake, is coated with cheese (white or green, whichever remains). We coat the edges with cheese.
- Salmon pancake cake looks luxurious, very beautiful and very expensive when the whole cake, both on top and on the sides, is covered with salmon. But not everyone can afford such a luxury, yes, in general, this is not necessary, so I propose to make a more democratic design.
- Sprinkle the sides of the pancake cake with finely chopped parsley, decorate the top with slices of salmon, parsley leaves and red caviar. That's it, our pancake and salmon snack cake is ready! This cake can be served almost immediately.

Feedback and comments:
In my family, salmon is loved by everyone. However, any lightly salted or smoked red fish is suitable for a pancake cake. I took pink salmon. It's great that the pasta for greasing the cakes is made with sour cream, and not with mayonnaise. Yes, I advise adding mustard to the paste itself for spiciness.
Alena, you have come up with a very cool idea of making a paste from salted salmon and cream cheese. With her help, I made a pancake cake and also breakfast sandwiches. Very tasty and not as expensive as with one red fish. Thanks.
Olga, in addition to saving, such a pancake cake turns out to be more tender than from one salmon and pancakes)))
The cake looks amazing. I would never have guessed that it is made from pancakes and salmon. I think it will taste amazing as well. I'm going to cook such beauty on March 8, I will pamper my husband, he also laid a gorgeous table for me on Valentine's Day, there will be a response to him)).
I made a pancake cake based on your recipe, but only made something cheaper. Instead of cream cheese, I used cottage cheese, and to make the mass more plastic, I added a couple of tablespoons of sour cream. I didn't have a lot of salmon, so I ground it into a paste along with cottage cheese. I left only a few pieces for decoration. Nothing, even this economical version turned out to be very tasty and beautiful. The guests reduced the whole cake in ten minutes.

Pancake pies - a godsend for those who are fed up with traditional pancakes. And it is also a good decoration for a festive table, space for culinary imagination, well, it's just very tasty! Do not believe me - write down the recipe.
Pancake pie with salmon in Malakhov style - lick your fingers! And most importantly, all this splendor is prepared quickly and easily. We will need:
For pancakes:
3 eggs
250g flour
2 glasses of milk
1 glass of water
½ teaspoon of slaked soda
a pinch of salt,
a tablespoon of sugar
vegetable oil (or lard) for frying
and most importantly, a suitable frying pan
For filling:
300g lightly salted salmon (fillet)
jar of Almette cheese (natural, no filling)
100g sour cream
Beat eggs with sugar with a mixer into the foam, add salt and flour, stir, dilute with milk. If it turns out thick, add water. This, by the way, is one of the secrets of thin pancakes - they will not turn out thin only in milk (without water).
To make the pancakes come out lush, and not dense, like the sole, add slaked soda to the dough. (Hint for beginners: put ½ teaspoon of baking soda in a tablespoon and pour in a little vinegar. Hold the spoon with baking soda over the dough: the baking soda will fizzle and run out of the spoon into the dough).
Mix the dough quickly, add a tablespoon of vegetable oil to it (this will prevent the pancakes from sticking to the pan), bake the pancakes and put them in a slide on a plate.
I hope everyone knows how to bake thin pancakes? that the pan needs to be tilted and turned when pouring dough onto it. She just poured the dough into the middle, and she did not get pancakes, but pancakes 🙂
Many specials are on sale now. I prefer the old, cast iron. It may seem scary to modern housewives, but pancakes are baked on it very quickly - just have time to turn it over!
So, the pancakes are ready - let's get started with the filling. Cut lightly salted salmon into small pieces, and mix Almette cheese with sour cream. Now we are ready to start collecting pancake pie with salmon.
Put a pancake on a flat plate and grease with a mixture of sour cream and cheese.
Put the pieces of fish on top, cover with another pancake ... and repeat all this until the pancakes and filling run out.
Our pancake pie is ready! You can decorate it with something, or you can not decorate it. My family did not let me do this: they said, let's try it soon! You can, of course, simplify the recipe and just fry pancakes with red fish, but the pancake cake on the table looks much prettier, right?
By the way! Pancake pies are also good because they can be made with any filling. For a change, try, for example. Or pancake pie with lingonberries and nuts. They are delicious too! Salads are friends with pancake pies, do you know? Bon Appetit))

Cooking Napoleon Salmon Snack Cake. New Year option
To prepare the dough, add salt, sugar, baking soda and baking powder to the flour. Mix everything thoroughly. Pour flour into a large enough bowl.
Cut the butter into pieces and put in flour. First, stir with a tablespoon, and then grind into crumbs with your hands. The crumb should not be very small.
Then add sour cream to the crumb and quickly knead the dough. Divide the dough into eight equal portions. Round each piece. Put all the pieces on a dish, cover with cling film and put in the refrigerator for half an hour.
After the specified time has elapsed, remove the dough from the refrigerator. Cut off baking paper. Sprinkle flour on it. Roll out a piece of dough on paper into a thin round layer. Cut off the circle with a cap or ring. Leave the scraps on the paper. Chop the dough with a fork. Send to an oven preheated to 210 degrees for about three to four minutes. The finished crust is pleasantly golden in color.
Separate the cuttings and place them in a separate container. Cool the cake on the desktop. Bake all eight cakes in the same way. The paper can be reused.
To prepare the filling, put the curd cheese in a bowl. Chop the herbs and put in the cheese. Mix.
Cut the fish into strips, and then cut each strip into small pieces.
Put all the cakes on the desktop and distribute the curd cheese between them. Smear it on the cake with a knife. Leave one tablespoon of curd cheese to coat the side of the cake.
Put the pieces of fish on the curd cheese. Place the cakes on top of each other.
Smear the top cake with cottage cheese, but do not steal fish on it. Spread the remaining cheese on the sides of the snack cake.
Grind the crumbs from the cakes into crumbs. Sprinkle the sides of the snack cake with prepared crumbs.
You can decorate the cake with caviar sauce and herbs. But you can come up with your own version.

Pancake cake with salmon - a little happiness, consisting of thin fragrant pancakes with sesame seeds, soaked in the most delicate cream cheese with slices of slightly salted salmon. And also fresh dill and a thin slice of lemon, and this is already a masterpiece of beauty and taste.
Pancake cake with salmon is beautiful, tasty, satisfying and festive.
The cold time has come - the time for hearty meals and the desire to deliciously surprise your family.
Pancake filling:
Salmon 200 g cut into small cubes 1 * 1 cm + sugar ½ teaspoon + salt ½ teaspoon + dill 2 sprigs (finely chop) = mix. I leave the salmon for marinating for 30 minutes.
Pancake dough:
1 egg + 0.5 teaspoon salt + 1.5 teaspoons sugar = whisk until smooth. Flour 100 g (2.5 tablespoons with a large slide) - sift through a sieve and pour into the dough, start stirring and immediately pour in 125 ml milk - in a thin stream, stir + 125 ml water + 1 tablespoon sesame. I mix - until smooth. If you make the dough in this sequence, then there is no lump. The pancake dough turns out to be of medium thickness - like a very liquid sour cream.
I send butter 30 g to the microwave until it is liquid. I pour it into the dough in a thin stream - with continuous stirring. It is the melted butter that will add delicacy to the pancakes.
The pancake dough is ready.
Thin pancakes - preparation:
I pour vegetable oil (1-2 tablespoons) into a plate + a brush (or I prick a piece of bacon or potatoes on a fork - this is what our grandmothers did) - to grease the pan for pancakes.
I put the pan on the fire and heat it + grease it with a thin layer of vegetable oil + 1 ladle of dough and quickly distribute it in a thin layer over the pan. I fry until golden brown, turn over to the other side, with the help of a miracle spatula, also until golden brown. I put the finished pancake on a plate, do not grease it with anything. I fry all the dough using this scheme.
Cream cheese:
Cream 100 ml fat from 30%, cold - beat with a mixer until the state of "shaving foam"
Philadelphia cheese 175 g knead with a fork + dill (3 finely chopped sprigs) + cream + salt, pepper to taste.
To decorate the cake:
I cut cherry tomatoes 100 g into 4 parts + finely chop the green onions (2 - 3 feathers) + vegetable oil, salt, pepper - to taste, mix.
Pancake cake with salmon:
You can make one big cake, but I make several small ones, or rather 4 pieces.
To do this, I cut out 3 identical small circles from each ready-made pancake - using a glass. For 1 cake I use 5 small circles.
In the middle of the first pancake 1 heaped teaspoon of cream cheese, cover with 2 pancakes + 1 teaspoon salmon, cover 3 with pancakes + 1 teaspoon with a slide of cream cheese, cover with 4 pancakes + 1 teaspoon salmon, cover with 5 pancakes + a few tomatoes with green onions and ½ a lemon circle.
Step 1: prepare the cream.
Remove the sour cream and cream cheese from the refrigerator ahead of time to warm up to room temperature. Put them in one plate and mash the cheese, mixing it with sour cream until smooth, creamy in consistency.Step 2: prepare the salmon.
From fish, we only need fillets without skin, you can either buy it ready-made, or peel everything off yourself. After cleaning, the fillets of salted or smoked salmon will need to be cut into thin strips or small cubes.
Step 3: collect the salmon pancake cake.
Collecting pancake cake with salmon is as easy as shelling pears. First, lay the first pancake, coat with cheese cream and sprinkle with chopped dill. Then cover everything on top with a second pancake and lay out the fish pieces. Put the third pancake on top, brush it with cheese, add greens, and then cover with the fourth pancake and repeat all the same layers from the beginning. And so on, until a delicious pancake cake grows in front of you. Decorate it with red caviar on top and serve it to the festive table!
Step 4: serve the salmon pancake cake.
Pancake cake with salmon is an incredibly tasty dish that will perfectly fit on your Pancake week table, and on any other festive table too. For example, pancakes with caviar popular in the New Year can be replaced with such a cake. The guests will be delighted, and so will you. Just have time to try!
Bon Appetit!
