I have lox that I didn't open yet, but need to use.
How can I make lox into a dinner? How would I serve it and what would I serve it with?

Serve it with eggs, or put it in a quiche.

Make a lox platter and everyone can make their own sandwich from the board. Section of lox, section of sliced eggs, cheese, sliced tomatoes, cucmbers, red onion, pickles, avocado, bowls of cream cheese, mayo, olives...

When we were in Paris, we had a Fettuccine Alfredo with smoked salmon. It was absolutely delicious. It was 22 years ago and we still talk about it

Scrambled eggs with lox and onions. Serve with bread, popovers, potatoes, or some other carb. Add a salad or fruit on the side.

Lox pizza - elevates it a bit or quesadillas

Smoked Salmon Quesadillas

SERVES 6

Excerpt From: Ina Garten. “Go-To Dinners

PREP AHEAD

6 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
½ cup chopped scallions, white and green parts (2 scallions)
3 ounces thinly sliced smoked salmon, chopped
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill, plus extra for serving
3 ounces grated Monterey Jack or yellow Cheddar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 (8-inch) flour tortillas
¾ cup sour cream
1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 to 3 ounces salmon roe (optional)

Place the cream cheese, scallions, salmon, dill, Monterey Jack, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper in a bowl and lightly mix with a fork.

Place three of the tortillas on a work surface and top each with the cheese-and-salmon mixture, spreading it evenly over the entire tortilla with a knife or offset spatula. Place the remaining tortillas on top and press lightly. Combine the sour cream and lime zest in a small bowl and set aside.

Brush the top of one tortilla completely with the melted butter. Heat a 10-inch sauté pan over medium heat and place the quesadilla, butter side down, in the sauté pan. Brush the top with butter. Cook for about 2 minutes, until golden brown and blistered. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove to a cutting board. Repeat for the remaining quesadillas.

To serve, cut each quesadilla in 4 to 6 wedges with a big knife and serve warm with the sour cream and salmon roe, if using, on the side.

The quesadillas can be assembled ahead and refrigerated for a few hours. Fry them before serving.

that one would just use vegetable stock - either homemade which is delicious or from the store.
1 bay leaf
2 cups whole milk
4 ounces smoked salmon, flaked
¾ cup heavy cream
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Fresh chives, minced, for garnish

PREPARATION

Melt the butter with the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot set over medium heat. Add leek, carrot and celery, and cook until the vegetables have softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic, potato and thyme, and cook until the garlic is fragrant, an additional 2 or 3 minutes.

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetable mixture and stir to combine, then cook, stirring often, for approximately 5 minutes, making sure not to scorch the bottom of the pan.

Add the wine, chicken stock and bay leaf, and bring mixture to a simmer. After 10 minutes or so, stir in the milk, and return to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender, approximately 25 minutes. Add the salmon and stir gently, allowing the fish to warm but making sure that the mixture does not boil.

Remove the bay leaf and discard. Add the cream, then stir to combine and heat through. Season to taste with pepper. Garnish with minced chives.

You can make lox omelette if your family enjoys that, serve with some type of bread and a nice big mixed salad
Or standard bagels, cream cheese and lox with Israeli salad

Any time a recipe calls for chicken stock I just automatically use vegetable stock the same way any recipe that uses butter is changed to vegan butter/margarine.

Why would I have to convert it since the change in ingredients is so obvious?

That seems to be elementary.
