Delicate salmon carpaccio
We all know the classic carpaccio – delicious. But if you want to change things up, this smoked salmon carpaccio is it for you! Thin slices of smoked fresh salmon, a few drops of fresh lemon juice and a dash of crème fraîche, mixed with horseradish, along with some fresh herbs like dill.
Simple and delicious. For a festive touch, we added some fish roe on top of the salmon. Of course, caviar is also an option if the budget allows it… 😉 .

This smoked salmon carpaccio is a real treat! It really is the perfect appetizer for the festive season. You can easily prepare all the ingredients or even make the whole dish and put it in the fridge covered with foil.
We love simple and festive starters to serve at Christmas. Take a look at my beef carpaccio starter or try my creamy mushroom soup! Both very suitable for special occasions.
How to serve salmon carpaccio
I like to serve this lovely dish with some fresh bread like a baguette or even some sourdough. Aside from the horseradish-infused crème fraîche and fresh lemon, I often add some fresh dill and fish roe to make it a real showstopper. Combine with a fresh dry white wine like a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio. or a non-alcoholic drink of choice, and enjoy!
