Smoked Salmon Tray
Submitted by: Kathie
I worked in a gourmet take out and their great appetizer tray was: Little bread rounds with cream cheese on them with smoked salmon. They were decorated with lemons at the plate edge and onions in rounds with a tiny bit a cavier in the middle and a sprig of parsley on the plate between the bread rounds. Very pretty, and very tasty, though I never got many of them.
