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."

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

By
Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.  My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons.
