Smoked salmon with prawns and avocado
Smoked salmon with prawns and avocado © kvalifood.com
Cold-smoked salmon and peeled prawns are a familiar pairing, and avocado cream binds them well. The pickled red onion adds acidity and a little bite, so the result does not become too rich and heavy. A combination that holds up well on a party spread.
