Seed Oil Free Smoked Salmon Platter with Herb Cucumber Rounds
This platter is the kind of thing that looks like it took serious effort but comes together in minutes — silky smoked salmon draped over crisp cucumber rounds, fanned avocado, and a bright herb drizzle that ties everything together beautifully. The only fat in this recipe is extra-virgin olive oil, which means you can enjoy every bite without worrying about the refined vegetable and seed oils that sneak into so many store-bought spreads, dressings, and prepared seafood platters. That simple herb drizzle — olive oil, fresh lemon juice, dill, chives, and a hint of ground ginger — does the heavy lifting flavor-wise and keeps things completely clean. Briny capers, paper-thin red onion, and optional fresh horseradish add punchy contrast to the rich salmon and buttery avocado. It's elegant enough for a weekend brunch spread or a casual dinner party starter, yet simple enough to pull off on a weeknight without breaking a sweat. Serve it immediately so the cucumbers stay crisp and the avocado stays vibrant — this one is best eaten the moment it hits the table.
