Photo: Smoked Salmon Quesadilla Recipe
Indoor: Prepare quesadillas as directed. In a skillet large enough to fit tortillas, heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. When oil is hot, carefully fry both sides of quesadillas for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown; turning with a large spatula. Garnish as directed.
Ingredients
- 8 flour tortillas, taco size
- 5 ounces garlic herb cheese, softened (recommended: Boursin)
- 6 ounces smoked salmon
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 red onion, sliced
- Creme fraiche, optional
Directions
Set up grill for direct cooking over medium heat. Oil grate when ready to start cooking.
Lay out 4 tortillas; spread each with half of the herb cheese. Divide and top each tortilla with salmon, capers, and jack cheese. Top with remaining tortillas.
In a small bowl, combine sour cream with dill; set aside. Grill tortillas on hot oiled grill 3 to 4 minutes per side or until cheese has melted. Serve hot topped with sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and onion rings. Garnish with creme fraiche.

Anyone who believes that salmon and cheese do not go together may help themselves to experience, shall we say, a bite of life beyond their perhaps 'small backyard'.
Do not mistake Miss Lee's recipes for poor.
Her style of cooking is meant to save time, but by no means does she pair foods incorrectly.
Also, a tip for those bitter reviewers;
Follow the golden rule and try to find kinder words.
You would come across as a much nicer person.

I was tentative at first but we liked it. My 15 yr old daughter wants me to make it at Christmas though I think New Years would be better. I followed the directions exactly and gave it a 4. I also did a breakfast version the next morning and changed out the Boursin for cream cheese w/chives and did a Mexican version of a bagel with Salmon. I imagine based on some of the reviews this isn't for everyone.
