Starters

We have this on thinly sliced fresh HM granary bread. We cut each slice into 8 small triangles, season with lemon and pepper, and serve informally on a big plate for everyone to help themselves, with a bottle of champagne.

Smoked salmon pancakes are my favourite. Make pancakes as normal and fill with a mixture of chopped smoked salmon, chopped spring onion & creme fraiche. Season well with lemon juice & black pepper. You can make the pancakes and the mixture on christmas eve & keep it in the fridge until you need to assemble it just before lunch.

If it's a starter you're after I would whizz up a bit of the salmon with cream cheese, lemon, pepper and horseradish to taste. Then put a dollop in a small sheet of smoked salmon, gather up the ends and tie with some chives to make a little parcel. Garnish with lemon and cucumber and serve with some melba toast.

Not finger food but very quick + easy. Simply serve smoked salmon with a dollop of creme fraiche thats mixed with a good shake of black pepper + a good squeeze of lemon juice. Serve with a wedge of lemon.

We normally have ours on a slice of brown bread with a slice of lemon and some cream cheese.

We always have ours on wheaten bread (common in Northern Ireland, here in England I'd just used brown bread) with lots of butter and a squeeze of lemon juice. Smoked salmon is so nice it doesn't need anything else - and you'll probably have enough to do anyway without doing something posh with it!

I do something similar, but mix the cream cheese (or creme fraiche or fromage frais or mascarpone) with chopped chives and spread it on salmon strips cut to rectangles. the cut-offs also go in the cheese mixture. Then roll the rectangles up like Swiss rolls and tie each with a long chive.

Having friends (ten of us) round on New Years Eve and want to do a really nice meal.

Any ideas for a starter including recipe - hoping to make a cold one so i can use the oven for something else.

Thanks for your help

Hi Little Miss Naughty,

There's an older thread with lots of ideas and recipes that should help so I've merged your thread with it to keep all the suggestions together.
