Garlic Butter Salmon and Latkes are here to elevate any meal, whether it’s a special occasion or just a cozy Wednesday night.

Flaky, tender salmon gets smothered in a rich homemade garlic butter sauce and baked to perfection on a sheet pan.

While the salmon is doing its thing, you can fry up crispy, golden latkes to serve on the side.

It’s a meal that’s as easy as it is impressive–perfect for any day of the week!

4.Sour Cream

Sour cream is a classic way to enjoy latkes, and for good reason! While some folks swear by applesauce, others can’t get enough of that creamy, tangy goodness.

And let’s be honest–sour cream is a total game-changer. It adds this rich, velvety texture that perfectly complements the crispy, golden latkes.

Plus, it’s just so satisfying to dollop it on top and take that first bite. Creamy, crunchy, and absolutely delightful, sour cream is the ultimate latke topping you didn’t know you needed!

It’s like a sunny-side-up egg and hash browns rolled into one, but even better. Mastering the perfect poach does take a little practice, but with this recipe, you’ll be a pro in no time!

6.Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese

When it comes to cream cheese, you’ve got options–classic, chive and onion, or garden veggie are all great picks.

You could even double down on the smokiness with smoked salmon cream cheese if you’re feeling extra fancy. Just one tip: steer clear of sweet flavors like pumpkin spice unless you’re into adventurous pairings.

This hearty dish is exactly what you need on a cold, rainy day when all you want to do is cozy up with a warm meal.

8.Applesauce

Craving something sweet instead of savory? Applesauce is a classic latke topping for a reason–it’s absolutely delicious! The sweet and salty mix is a total game-changer.

It’s a flavor combo that hits just right and satisfies all your comfort food cravings. Keep it simple with store-bought applesauce for quick breakfasts or snacks.

Or go the extra mile and make it homemade for those special moments. Either way, it’s a tradition worth keeping, especially during the holidays or at potlucks.
