Directions
For the Horseradish-Capers Cream Cheese
Place 100 g cream cheese, one heaping tablespoon small capers, 2 tablespoons hot horseradish, and 1 tablespoon cream into a small mixing bowl. Mix everything together thoroughly and season generously with salt and pepper.
For the Honey-Mustard-Dill Sauce
For the Honey-Mustard-Dill Sauce, put 3 tablespoons mild mustard, 3 tablespoons rapeseed oil, 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon sugar, 2 tablespoons finely chopped dill, and some pepper into a small mixing bowl. Stir vigorously until a slightly thick, creamy texture forms.
Arrange the Salmon Platter
The salmon platter can be arranged according to preferences.
I rolled a portion of the smoked salmon into small roses and placed them on the serving plate. The remaining smoked salmon was arranged flat with a sprinkle of salt, pepper, small capers, thinly sliced red onion, a drizzle of olive oil, and fresh lemon, resembling a kind of Carpaccio.
Season the Stremellachs (hot-smoked salmon) with a bit of pepper and place it on the plate. Arrange the salmon caviar on halved hard-boiled eggs and also place them on the plate. Fill the salmon platter with pickles and large capers (caper berries) to ensure the serving plate is fully filled.
Of course, all ingredients are optional and interchangeable. The beauty of such platters is that you can customize them according to your preferences. Even without extravagant presentation methods or skills, they simply look magnificent.
Serve with Bread or Crackers
Serve the Smoked Salmon Platter with a selection of high-quality bread or crackers. Baguette slices, pumpernickel bread, or artisanal crackers can be excellent choices. Alternatively, you can offer toasted bread points or melba toast for added texture.
