Eating My Way Through the Holidays! Special Edition: Himalayan Salt Plate Lox and Bagels! My newest kitchen “toy” is the Himalayan Salt Plate. Not only does it create a stunning presentation, it brings a subtle and unexpected flavor to foods served on it. First, chill it in the refrigerator overnight. It then becomes a serving platter on the table or buffet line. Everything lays directly on the salt plate to absorb the nutrients. I chose Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon, for starters, with all the trimmings for an exquisite banquet. The lox is traditionally smoked and sliced thin. It smells divine when I break the seal. Arrange hard-boiled egg slices for essence and red onion for a blend of slightly sweet gusto. Sprinkle on imported nonpareil capers for seasoning that lingers. Slather toasted bagels with the creamy NeufchΓ’tel cheese mixture before adding ingredients. Top with fresh dill which pulls everything together, in my opinion. Now dig in.
HIMALAYAN SALT PLATE LOX AND BAGELS
Ingredients:
4 ounces applewood smoked salmon
2 hard boiled eggs, sliced
1/4 red onion, sliced
2 tablespoons imported capers, nonpareil
2 sesame bagels, split and toasted
4 ounces NeufchΓ’tel cheese
1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
Fresh dill sprigs
Instructions:
Mix the NeufchΓ’tel cheese and Greek yogurt until smooth, light, and creamy. Slather onto a toasted bagel. Top with smoked salmon pieces, hard boiled eggs, red onion slice, and imported capers. Garnish with fresh dill sprig.
My all time favorite food ~right down to the sesame see bagel. Although I have not tried the yogurt/cheese mix. Have to see how it tastes. Thanks for you version. π

You should see the funny looks I get when I request capers in a restaurant. Still, it makes it, in my opinion. π
