Smoked salmon salad platter, potato wedges and corn

Smoked Salmon  Platter

The smoked salmon platter was easy but looked great.  Just choose a nice plate, plonk your piece of smoked salmon in the middle, surround it with little piles of red onion, pickled cucumber (could be any sort of pickle), tomato wedges, slices of cucumber, lemon wedges.  Sprinkle some capers and thinly sliced red onion over the top.

Other things you could put on the platter if you had them handy include, chopped boiled eggs (see here for my way of doing them), blinis (you could make your own but there are perfectly good frozen ones in the supermarket), finely chopped red chilli, salmon caviar etc etc.

Sauce with mayo, horseradish and mustard

The sauce I did with it was made of mayo, horseradish sauce and Dijon mustard – with white pepper and a teensy bit of salt.

Corn drizzled with butter, salt and pepper and parsley

To make a meal, I added one corn cob – boiled for 15 minutes in unsalted water.  I put butter, pepper, salt and chilli flakes onto it.  Yum.

My best potato wedges yet

For the first time I made potato wedges that came out perfectly.  I parboiled the potatoes (baking potatoes (Agria) cut up into wedges) for 5 minutes, shook them up in the pot a bit after draining, then coated them in a little vegetable oil, salt and white pepper.  20-25 minutes in a hot fan forced oven and they came out crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
