Marinated Smoked Salmon With Poppy Seeds Food

EVERYTHING CUCUMBER-SMOKED SALMON BITES

Steps:

• Make the everything seasoning: Mix the poppy seeds, sesame seeds, dried minced garlic, onion flakes, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
• Mix the sour cream and dill in a separate small bowl.
• Peel the cucumber with a vegetable peeler, leaving a small strip of skin between each peel like a stripe. Slice the cucumber ¼ inch thick on the bias (you'll have about 16 slices).
• Spread about ½ teaspoon of the sour cream mixture on each cucumber slice. Fold the smoked salmon pieces and place on top of the sour cream mixture. Sprinkle with the everything seasoning and garnish with dill sprigs.

MARINATED SMOKED SALMON WITH POPPY SEEDS

Steps:

• Whisk together the poppy seeds, orange zest and juice, vinegar and oils with some black pepper and a pinch of salt - be sparing with the salt, as smoked salmon is naturally quite salty.
• Carefully separate the slices of salmon, then put into a mixing bowl with most of the radishes and spring onions. Drizzle over the dressing and gently toss together lightly - using your hands is best. Let the salmon marinate for just 5-10 mins while you toast the bread - any longer and the vinegar will begin to 'cook' the fish.
• Spread the salmon over a large plate or platter, pour over any dressing left in the bowl, then scatter over the reserved radishes and spring onions. Bring to the table with toasted bread and a few forks, and let everyone help themselves.

SMOKED SALMON & POPPY SEED PALMIERS

Steps:

• Unroll the pastry and brush one side all over with the beaten egg. Sprinkle over the poppy seeds, then flip over the pastry. Spread the cream cheese over the pastry and top with the smoked salmon, then scatter over the chives. With one of the longer sides facing you, mark a line roughly down the centre, but don't cut all the way through. Tightly roll each end in towards the middle until you reach the centre. Slice into 1cm-thick pieces and place, cut-side up, on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Chill until ready to bake, or freeze for up to 2 months.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bake for 20-25 mins until puffed up and golden brown (if baking from frozen, cook for an extra 5 mins). Leave to cool on a wire rack before packing for your picnic.
