Ingredients

150 g Cold smoked salmon (lox), thinly sliced or hot smoked salmon
½ c Cream cheese
20 Crackers
2 tablespoon Capers drained
¼ c Red onion sliced very thin or chopped
¼ c Dill or other herbs
1 Lemon Cut into wedges, ½ or ¼ wheels
Salt, pepper and any other optional condiments you like.

Instructions

Choose a large platter or serving board. Start with a bed of greens, dill or other herbs. These can be laid all over or just in a few corners.
Place small bowls and dishes around and fill with the cream cheese and some of the small ingredients like capers, chopped onions, salt and pepper or place them in small piles right on the board. Add crackers in a straight line, a curving line, or small piles.
Next arrange your salmon. Cold smoked salmon can be draped or gently rolled into rosettes to add a little height. Hot smoked salmon can be eased apart into large, bite-sized pieces and placed in a pile or into a dish. If you have smoked salmon pate, dip or spread, it will likely need to be in it's own bowl or dish on the platter with a spoon or spreading knife beside.
Add in lemon wedges and other garnishes like radishes, egg or , tucking them around bowls and anywhere that needs filling or a pop of color.
Finally, be sure to add appropriate serving utensils, side plates, and napkins. Small spoons, forks, and butter knives make it easy for guests to serve themselves.
