Smoked Salmon Platter with Crème Fraîche and Fennel Salad
This delicious smoked salmon platter served with horseradish Crème Fraîche and Fennel Salad is delicious for any occasion. I love to serve this at Christmas on homemade brown soda bread as a pre-dinner nibble with a glass of bubbles.
Good quality smoked salmon combined with a gorgeous salad and dressing is always a winner when you have guests. This is a very simple recipe but so delicious. Make sure you do use the best of ingredients for this one.
