This easy Smoked Salmon Platter recipe is rustic, easy and no fuss. Perfect for a lazy dinner, for a fancy brunch or a light lunch. Use what you have in the fridge to make this delicious Smoked Salmon Appetizer!

A fully arranged platter with the bagels, veggies, fruits, the sauces and ready to eat

The smoked salmon is surrounded by sliced red onions, cucumbers, capers, arugula,  bagels, fruits and more! Also some of my all time favorite staples : sweet mustard dill sauce and garlic herb lemon cream cheese.

My family loves smoked salmon, I carried on that love and luckily my husband does too. My girls, well I won’t get into that right now.. Non the less it’s a staple at my home and a platter like that is one of my favorite ways to enjoy it.

SMOKED SALMON PLATTER

This platter isn’t really a recipe per say, it’s rather how I love to arrange and combine different condiments and veggies into a fabulous lunch, brunch, fancy breakfast or light summer dinner!

Most of the time I’ll add in extras like eggs, sliced apples, radishes and just whatever I have on hand. It’s totally versatile and can be arranged in a few minutes.
