Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound Smoked Salmon fillet not a lox product
  • 4 ounces Cheddar Cheese sliced, served at room temperature
  • 4 ounces White Cheddar or complimentary cheese of your choice
  • 1 recipe Horseradish Cream Sauce
  • Assorted crackers Sturdy and buttery

Instructions

  • On a platter or plate, place the smoked salmon. Arrange the cheese and crackers around the salmon.
  • Place the Horseradish Cream Sauce in a bowl. Provide serving knives for building those appetizers.
  • To eat; place a small piece of salmon on a cracker, add a slice of cheese smear with Horseradish Cream Sauce and enjoy.

Notes

Smoked Salmon: Choose a smoked salmon fillet product rather than a salt cured salmon which is a thinner sliced product and traditionally served on a bagel with capers. . The most popular and easy to find is the fillets from the Honey Smoked Fish Company sold at Costco and Safeway.
More Serving Ideas: 
  • Grapes: Place grapes in-between items on the smoked salmon platter. Red, green or black grapes will work beautifully.
  • Cornichons are a wonderful addition. Cornichons are tiny little dill pickles and their tart flavor makes them an ideal garnish for any charcuterie board.
  • Nuts: Add a sprinkling of nuts here and there on the platter. Raw almonds, roasted shelled pistachios and lightly salted cashews are all good choices.
  • Olives: A little bowl of olives would be lovely. Choosing olives from an olive bar, rather than jarred will bring more flavor.
  • Fruit: A little bowl of raspberries would bring a nice pop of color.
