You'll love this loaded smoked salmon platter with fresh veggies, creamy cheese (in this case Labneh) and Mediterranean favorites like capers, olives, and marinated artichokes! Serve it for brunch with bagels or as an appetizer platter with your favorite crackers or pita wedges. ![]() Grazing boards are my favorite way to entertain. Scratch that. They're my favorite way to eat! There is just something about sharing a big platter of favorite foods with the people I love. My earlier cheese board and mezze platter with hummus are two good examples of easy no-cook platters I make often for my family. And now...this smoked salmon situation, which is a great one to serve as an appetizer or for brunch (just add a few easy boiled eggs). Bagel and lox on a platter!Here's the deal with this smoked salmon platter, takes the idea of bagel and lox to a whole new level of delicious...plus, a platter is much more sharable than a bagel! You've got your smoked salmon (or lox), cream cheese (in my case, I used homemade labneh), red onions, and capers, which are the usual suspects to make a classic bagel with lox. From there, load up the platter with sliced fresh veggies and Mediterranean favorites like olives, marinated artichoke hearts, a few slices of feta, and lemon wedges! If I'm serving this for brunch, then the soft-boiled eggs are a must for me. Now, whether you serve this smoked salmon platter with a side of bagels or not, that's totally optional. ![]() How to buy good smoked salmon?Some lucky ones will smoke their own fish, but for the rest of us who will buy it at the store, it's important to examine the package well. Avoid buying smoked salmon if you see dark edges or spots on its flesh. And as salmon is an oily fish, it will have a bit of shine to it, but it should not look too oily or slimy (this is a sign that the fish hasnât been properly cured). Also read look at the label, you should not see too much added salt or sugar listed for flavor (the smoking process already adds a lot of flavor) How to make a smoked salmon platterMuch like I did with my earlier cheese board, let me offer these steps as a loose guide for how to put together a killer smoked salmon platter, but you can totally make it your own by changing things up according to what you have.
