    12 Seafood Salads for Christmas

    Published: Dec 1, 2020 · Modified: Jan 11, 2021 by The Devil Wears Salad

    12 Seafood Salads for Christmas

    Seafood as an integral part of any Christmas menu and there is no better way than to incorporate it into your side salads! From cured salmon to lobster tails, these seafood salads will be crowd pleasers!

    12 Seafood Salads for Christmas this recipe

    In Australia, seafood is a must in any Christmas event. As we spend our Christmas in the summer, there is nothing better than cool fresh oysters doused in citrusy lemon and a huge serving of cooked prawns or shrimp.

    The hot weather definitely calls for these dishes so that not everything we eat is straight out of the oven.

    It is so popular that you actually have to order them in advance. We can’t freeze them so buying them a few days early isn’t an option.

    Otherwise you have to queue for quite some time or even worse, run the risk not being able to get any at all. I’m not going to tell my mother I couldn’t get any seafood for Christmas!

    Salads are an important part of our Christmas menu because it has the added bonus of being able to be served at room temperature. It certainly eases the over worked kitchen and gives us a chance to space out the cooking process.

    Adding seafood to the salads is something we enjoy doing and hence we have created a whole bunch of recipes for your inspiration.

    Perhaps our most sought-after seafood recipe for Christmas is our Beetroot Cured Salmon with Black Fish Roe.

    Not only is it an absolutely delicious salad that is time and time again proven to be incredibly popular, it is stunning. The vibrant red hues of the beetroot stained salmon against a dollop of jet-black fish roe is truly gorgeous.

    Let’s not forget the lobster tail that is served up with sweet, fresh mangos, perfect for the summer or the Gin infused prawns/shrimp for the adults to enjoy.

    Baby cuttlefish in an Asian style finish just to mix it up a bit and of course, hot smoked salmon recipes that offer salty notes.

    We hope that you’ll find a seafood recipe that you’ll like and more importantly that will impress your friends and family. Have a very Merry Christmas and enjoy the silly season!
