Mary Berry Smoked Salmon is a classic British-style preparation where high-quality smoked salmon is served with complementary ingredients such as lemon, cream cheese, herbs, or bread. Rather than overpowering the fish, the focus is on enhancing its silky texture and gentle smokiness. It’s typically served cold and assembled just before serving for maximum freshness.

Ingredients

  • 200g smoked salmon, thinly sliced

  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges

  • 150g full-fat cream cheese

  • 1 tablespoon crème fraîche (optional, for loosening)

  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill or chives, finely chopped

  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • Optional: Capers or cucumber slices for garnish

Instructions

  • Prepare the cream base – In a bowl, soften the cream cheese with a spoonful of crème fraîche until smooth and spreadable.

  • Add herbs – Stir in chopped dill or chives and season lightly with black pepper.

  • Arrange the salmon – Lay the smoked salmon slices neatly on a serving platter, slightly overlapping.

  • Add the cream mixture – Spoon or pipe small amounts of the herbed cream alongside or on top of the salmon.

  • Finish with lemon – Add lemon wedges and a light squeeze just before serving.

  • Garnish gently – Scatter capers or cucumber slices if using.

  • Serve immediately – Best enjoyed fresh and chilled.
