From: EatingWell Magazine, November/December 2013
This smoked salmon platter requires little effort but the spread makes a big impression. Served with all the fixings—capers, hard-boiled eggs, cucumber and more—a smoked salmon platter is the ultimate make-ahead appetizer. Lay out everything listed in the ingredients below or just a few of the elements along with an assortment of crackers, cocktail bread and/or sliced baguette.

- 1 cup thinly sliced English cucumber
- 1 cup thinly sliced radishes
- ½ cup sliced cherry tomatoes
- 2 large hard-boiled eggs (see Tips), peeled and sliced

- Freshly ground pepper to taste
Preparation
-
Active
-
Ready In
- Bring about 1 inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan fitted with a steamer basket. Add potatoes, cover and steam until just tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Spread on a plate or clean cutting board in a single layer until cool.
- Arrange salmon, the potatoes, onion, cucumber, radishes, tomatoes, eggs, roe, capers and lemon wedges on a platter (or platters). Sprinkle with chopped dill and pepper. Garnish with fresh dill sprigs, if desired.
- Make Ahead Tip: Steam potatoes and let stand at room temperature for up to 3 hours; assemble platter(s) and let stand at room temperature for up to 2 hours.
- Wild-caught salmon from the Pacific (Alaska and Washington) is considered the best choice for the environment because it is more sustainably fished and has a more stable population. Farmed salmon, including Atlantic, should be avoided, as it endangers the wild salmon population.
- To hard-boil eggs: Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and cook at the barest simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, pour out hot water and cover the eggs with ice-cold water. Let stand until cool enough to handle before peeling.

I've prepared smoked salmon platters in the past and was just looking to take it up a notch. No mention of how to prepare dill sauce and/or creme frache for spread. Recipe is woefully lacking.
