Easy to Assemble for Celebratory Meals & Buffets
Today’s recipe for Seafood & Smoked Salmon Wreath is a fabulous way to serve seafood and smoked salmon. A beautiful edible wreath which makes a stunning centrepiece for any celebratory dinner party or buffet table. It’s simply assembled, and you can add whatever seafood you have to hand.
I’ve made it for New Year’s Eve this year with Smoked Salmon Mousse, Gravlax and Smoked Salmon, however, I’ve added some other serving ideas in the notes below.
Serve this Seafood & Smoked Salmon Wreath thinly sliced brown bread and butter, a bowl of lemon mayonnaise and some chilled crisp white wine or champagne.
I’ve also made an edible Cheese & Charcuterie Wreath, which went down extremely well, and I’ll also share those assembly and ingredients ideas in the notes below.
This edible wreath looks and works beautifully with minimum effort, and really delivers on the “wow” factor, I’ve made several throughout the festive period, each a little different depending on what’s in my fridge and pantry.
The ingredients below relate to the main photos in this post, and as I mentioned before, all the substitutions and alternative ingredients ideas are in the notes.
All that remains for me to do, before I share these recipes below with alternative serving notes, is to wish you ALL a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR! Let’s hope it’s better than last year…….
…..thank you for your friendship and support throughout 2020, Karen x
