Quick Summary

This Smoked Salmon Plate combines high-quality omega-3 fats, lean protein, and fresh produce. It requires no actual cooking, making it an ideal choice for busy mornings or elegant brunches.

Ingredients

8 oz cold-smoked salmon
4 tbsp cream cheese or Greek yogurt
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 tbsp capers, drained

4 oz fresh arugula or baby spinach
1 large cucumber, sliced into rounds
1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Method

1. Arrange a bed of arugula on each of the four plates to provide a crisp, peppery base.
2. Drape two ounces of smoked salmon ribbons over the greens on each plate.
3. Add dollops of cream cheese or yogurt alongside the salmon for creaminess.
4. Scatter red onion, capers, and fresh dill over the top. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Stewart's Secret: For the best texture, take your salmon out of the refrigerator 10 minutes before serving. This allows the delicate fats to soften and the true flavor profile to bloom.
