you can make a little bowl out of a cucumber and put the sauce in it, it looks very pretty.

Fabulous

You can do it like they do at wedding. Put it on a bed of angel hair pasta or a nice lettuce or cabbage leaf. Put the sauce in a squirt bottle and squeeze nicely around plate and zigzagging over the salmon as well.

salmon looks very pretty over a bed of angel hair pesto
basically pesto with angel hair pasta, and you lay the salmon on top of it..
I sometimes make salmon/spinach roll ups..
flaky dough, creamed spinach, salmon ( which has no skin on either side) and a mayo and mustard dressing.. roll it up, egg it and sesame it, and bake till crispy. slice and serve it laying on its side- its very pretty with all the colors..

Bina had a gorgeous recipe recently, I didn't make it but I know people who did. the salmon was cubed and breaded and placed on a fancy skewer and balanced on top of roasted colored peppers and red onion cut in circles. It was so pretty and neat.

Or drizzle the plate with dill sauce and place the salmon on top.

I cut out the recipe with the picture and I think it looks fantastic - I just don't have a reason to make it yet.

I made a salmon "trifle" once as a simcha appetizer. Using very large, stemmed water goblets, I layered assorted shredded vegetables (alternating darker and lighter colors) then topping it with flaked, poached salmon with cucumber sauce on top if it. Very elegant.

Salmon bourekas- really yummy and easy- 1 can of salmon will make 8 bourekas.

Puff pastry dough- medium squares
can of salmon- for # of guests
little mayo and lemon juice- to take away fishy taste
Garlic powder or fresh garlic ( I never measure just throw as much as you like in)
put a Tble spoon of filling in the square fold like triangle and bake for 20 min till puffed. Drizzle with sauce( mayo, water, garlic and sugar).

Cucumber sauce:

¾ cup mayonnaise (lite is fine)
¼ cup Coffee Rich or soy milk
2 tblsp. finely chopped onion
½ cup finely chopped seedless cucumber (I often use regular cucumber, just remove seeds)

Mix everything together (I like to use a whisk) and chill.

It's good over all kinds of salmon.

I do angel hair spaghetti, chopped lettuce, flaked salmon pieces (makes salmon go very far) and drizzle with honey mustard dressing. People are still talking about it from Sukkos! Thanks cookielady!!
