Wine recommendation
Given that this platter has a wide variety of flavours: citrus / oils / creams and onions, it will be difficult to pinpoint one wine style or variety that will match with everything. However, given that the hero of this platter is the salmon, it is a much easier task to choose a wine that will work with the delicate textures and flavours of the smoked salmon. Any good sparkling wine or Champagne, chardonnay, Riesling or Semillon will work wonders. Experiment and find what works best for you!
