The smoked salmon trees are part of those recipes-non recipes, because they are extremely easy to make, yet they can make a Christmas appetizer exciting and fun.
In fact, they can also be used as cute place cards, placed on a small plate for each guest.
You just need a bit of dexterity, the right molds, and excellent salmon; all combined with good sandwich bread allows us to showcase our creativity in the kitchen without much effort.
Because we know that during the Christmas days, lunches and dinners follow one another at a fast pace and there are many things to prepare.
You can prepare the smoked salmon trees in advance, put them in a container with a lid, and then arrange them on the table just before serving the appetizer.
