Fresh Cheese with Salmon is a delicate and super tasty appetizer that combines the creaminess of cheese with the savoriness of salmon. It is an easy and quick gourmet finger food, perfect as an appetizer with a nice glass of bubbly. You only need a few simple yet high-quality ingredients. For the salmon, I relied on a company with over 30 years of experience: Re Salmone. It’s a high-quality Norwegian smoked salmon, never frozen and processed fresh, low in salt, and characterized by a light beech wood smoking. Do you want to try the fresh cheese with salmon too? Make sure to also try the mini omelets with ricotta and salmon cream and the phyllo pastry triangles with salmon and let me know if you liked them.
