Smoked salmon isn’t just a treat; it’s very nutritious, too. Smoked salmon is a great source of many of the vitamins which are necessary for a healthy diet. It’s also good for minerals, including selenium, copper, phosphorus, calcium, iron and zinc. It also adds a little luxury to any meal. This dish makes a wonderful Valentine’s Day starter as it’s very quick to make, looks gorgeous and tastes utterly sensational.
