Smoked Salmon Poppies #FishFridayFoodies

By

It's time for Fish Friday Foodies' December event. 

In any case, we are a group of seafood-loving bloggers, rallied by Wendy of A Day in the Life on the Farm, to share fish and seafood recipes on the third Friday of the month.

This month, Sue of Palatable Pastime is hosting as we share seafood recipes for entertaining. She wrote, "Share your recipes entertaining using fish and seafood for our December event. Any type of recipe: appetizers, mains, salads, etc. that would be great for parties or as a special holiday meal."

Before I get to my recipe. Here's the rest of the #FishFridayFoodies' celebration menu...




Making rosettes with smoked fish is an easy addition to an array of amuse-bouche plates. I am calling these 'poppies' because the black caviar reminds me of these flowers.

In any case, this is hardly a recipe. But I'll give you a little write up. And, because these are so quick to make, you have more time to spend with your guests.


Ingredients

  • smoked salmon, thinly sliced (I bought mine already sliced)
  • crème fraîche
  • caviar (I used Black Capelin caviar from Iceland)
  • basil leaves for garnish



Procedure
Place basil leaves on a serving platter. Roll salmon into a flower shape and place on top of the basil leaves. Add a small dollop of crème fraîche. Top with a smear of caviar. Serve immediately.

    These are sooooo clever! I have some creme fraiche that I didn't know what to do with. Now I do.

    What an easy but decadent idea - creme fraiche is always good in my mind too!

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
