Smoked Salmon Salad 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.

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