Number Of Ingredients 16

1 whole smoked whitefish (1 1/2 pounds), with head and tail
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
1/2 small white onion
1/4 cup mayonnaise
Romaine lettuce leaves, for garnish
1/2 pound smoked sable, thinly sliced
1/2 pound smoked Gaspe nova, thinly sliced
1/2 pound hot smoked salmon, thinly sliced
1/2 pound smoked wild Baltic salmon, thinly sliced
Salmon roe, for garnish
Caperberries, for garnish
Variety of olives, such as black, green and Kalamata, for garnish
Lemon slices, for garnish
Fresh dill and parsley sprigs, for garnish
Variety of breads, such as bagels, black bread and rye bread
Variety of cream cheeses, such as Caviar Cream Cheese, plain cream cheese, chive cream cheese

Steps:

  • Remove flesh from fish, leaving skin in one piece, reserving skin. Discard bones. Coarsely chop flesh (you should have about 4 cups). Transfer to a medium bowl. Add celery, onion, and mayonnaise. Mix gently to combine.
  • Line a large platter with lettuce. Open reserved skin and place on platter, scale-side down. Mound salad onto one half of skin, using the skin as a template. Fold the remaining half of skin over salad, and gently press to form salad into the shape of the fish. Using scissors, cut top half of skin off, and discard. Using the edge of a spatula, gently score the salad to resemble the bones of the fish.
  • Arrange the smoked fish around the whitefish salad. Garnish with salmon roe, caperberries, olives, lemon slices, and herbs. Serve with bread and cream cheese, on the side.

Provided by Jenny White

Categories     Buffet, Starter

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1kg baking potatoes
1 onion , grated and excess moisture squeezed out
1 garlic clove , finely grated
25g plain flour
1 egg , beaten
50g butter
3 tbsp olive oil
140g crème fraîche
2 tbsp chopped herbs (we used parsley, dill and basil)
2 tbsp horseradish sauce
140g smoked salmon
140g smoked mackerel
2 lemons , cut into wedges, to serve

Steps:

  • Soak the potatoes in cold water for 1 hr, drain, then cut into quarters. Cook in boiling salted water for 5 mins, drain and set aside until cool enough to handle. Coarsely grate and transfer to a bowl.
  • Stir in the onion, garlic, flour, egg and plenty of seasoning. Divide the mixture into 24 and shape into small patties (known as latkes). Heat a little of the butter and oil in a large non-stick frying pan and fry the latkes over a medium heat for 3-4 mins each side until golden brown (you will need to do this in batches, add more butter and oil each time). Drain on kitchen paper and keep warm.
  • Mix the crème fraîche, herbs and horseradish sauce together and season. Spoon the mixture into a serving bowl. Slice the smoked salmon into strips and break the smoked mackerel into bite-sized pieces. Arrange on a serving platter with the potato latkes, herby crème fraîche and some lemon wedges.

Categories     Appetizer

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 eggs, (soft boiled )
Kosher salt
Red pepper flakes or Aleppo pepper
12 oz smoked salmon
4 oz Cream cheese or Labneh ((I used homemade labneh) )
3 oz Feta cheese, sliced into slabs
1 English cucumber, (thinly sliced into rounds)
1 bell pepper (any color), (thinly sliced into rounds)
1 vine-ripe tomato, (thinly sliced into rounds)
5 radishes, (thinly sliced into rounds)
1/4 cup assorted olives
1/3 cup marinated artichoke hearts
1 small red onion, (thinly sliced into rounds)
1 lemon, (cut into wedges)

Steps:

  • Boil the eggs. Bring a saucepan of water to a boil over medium-high heat (make sure the saucepan can hold all the eggs in one single layer). Using a spoon, very gently lower the eggs in the boiling water large. Cook for exactly 6½ minutes, adjusting the heat as necessary to maintain a gentle boil. When the eggs are ready, transfer them to a large bowl of iced water and let them sit for about 2 minutes. Peel the eggs and cut them in halves and season with kosher salt and a pinch of red pepper flakes or Aleppo pepper (which is milder and has a slightly sweeter finish).
  • To assemble the salmon platter, place a small bowl of cream cheese or labneh in one third of the the platter. Place the feta cheese in another corner of the platter. Arrange the salmon, cucumbers, bell peppers, tomatoes, radish, onions, olives, artichoke hearts and lemon wedges around the cheese. Sprinkle a little more red pepper flakes or Aleppo pepper.

juice 1 lemon
1 red chilli , deseeded and finely chopped
50g pickled ginger (I used Clearspring Sushi Ginger)

4-6 fresh mackerel fillets

Steps:

  • Start making the pâté by putting the smoked trout, crème fraîche and lemon juice into a food processor. Pulse briefly to bring everything together without the mixture becoming a purée. Season to taste, and put in a bowl or ramekins, cover and chill until ready to serve.
  • For the spiced cucumber salad, put the chilli in a large bowl, and add the ginger and lime zest and juice, and slowly whisk in the olive oil. Once thoroughly combined, add the cucumber, mix well to coat in the dressing, then set aside in the fridge.
  • Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Put the oatmeal on a plate. Lightly brush the mackerel fillets all over with beaten egg, and dip them in the oatmeal, turning to coat them on both sides. Lay the mackerel fillets on a baking sheet that has been lightly greased with olive oil and bake for 15-20 mins or until golden.
  • To serve, arrange slices of smoked salmon and the warm cooked mackerel on large platters with the ramekins of trout pâté and the cucumber salad, breads, crispbreads, butter and lemon wedges.
