Smoked Salmon Platter Recipe
This smoked salmon platter is an easy-to-assemble appetizer great for any party, whether it is a brunch or holiday gathering. Made with store-bought smoked salmon, crisp everyday vegetables, creamy whipped cream cheese, and briny olives and capers, it’s a showstopping centerpiece you can put together in 20 minutes. Serve with crackers or toasted bread so guests can build their own bites.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 oz whipped cream cheese
- ¼ cup capers drained
- 12 oz smoked salmon wild-caught, preferably
- 2 Persian cucumbers sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes cut in half
- 3 radishes sliced thinly
- ½ cup olives black, green, or a combination of both
- ½ red onion sliced thinly - pickled onions
- 4 hard-boiled eggs cut in half lengthwise
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Everything but the Bagel seasoning optional (or just salt and pepper)
- 4 slices lemon
- ½ cup fresh dill optional
- 8-10 slices French baguette toasted and/or crackers to serve
Instructions
- Put the whipped cream cheese in a medium-sized bowl and capers in a small bowl. Arrange them on a large oval platter (or a board). I like to place the smaller bowl of capers to the right of the cream cheese bowl, slightly lower towards the top of the platter.
- Place the salmon slightly off-center, fanned or folded into loose ribbons. Leave a little space around the edges to tuck other items in later.
- Arrange the sliced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, radishes, olives, and red onions around the salmon.
- Scatter the halved hard-boiled eggs on both ends of the platter. Drizzle them with olive oil and sprinkle with Everything but the Bagel seasoning.
- Garnish with lemon slices and fresh dill.
- Serve with a toasted baguette or crackers on the side.
Notes
- Yields: I usually serve 3 oz (85g) of smoked salmon per person, so this recipe serves 4 adults. The nutritional values below are per serving.
- How long does a salmon platter stay fresh? Once assembled, it is best to consume it within two hours for food safety. It is best to take out just enough and replenish as needed. I like to keep extra salmon and veggies ready in the fridge and add to my board throughout the evening.
