The TikTok viral butter board really got my attention until…I was scrolling through Instagram several days ago and saw someone take the butter board trend and use cream cheese and smoked salmon…one of my favorite combinations! I quickly decided to come up with my own version of this deliciousness and I’m sharing it with you today!
It’s really so easy you don’t need a recipe and you can make this board for as many or as few people as you like. There is no cooking required, it makes a beautiful presentation and as I said above, it is so yummy that you won’t even believe it! Baldy doesn’t love smoked salmon the way I do but he really enjoyed this board. I can’t think of a season or an event that this board wouldn’t be perfect for…Christmas morning (definitely happening here), a cocktail party appetizer, drinks on the porch, by the fire, even dinner for 1 or 2! It’s seriously that good!
I hope I’ve convinced you to try my version of a Cream Cheese Smoked Salmon Board…keep scrolling for the how-to! I’m also posting a video on my Instagram tomorrow if you want to actually watch me make this board!
For this board, I used spreadable cream cheese combined with Boursin Cheese spread…it doesn’t matter the proportions because they are both delicious on their own with salmon, so just mix them together however you want. With a table knife, spread the cream cheese/Boursin mixture in blobs, decoratively on the board (this is where the video might help). After you’re satisfied with the amount of cream cheese, sprinkle pieces of cold smoked salmon, finely chopped red onion, chopped fresh dill, capers, a bit of lemon zest, everything bagel seasoning and finish with lemon pepper seasoning. The flavor combination is perfection! Serve with toasted mini bagels, french bread slices, rye bread slices or crackers and a nice bottle of white wine or if you’re serving this for brunch serve with mimosas or Bloody Mary’s!
I would love to know if you make this board…if you do, post a picture on Facebook or Instagram and tag me!
Thank you for reading today!
Definitely going to have to try this. Looks delish!
Hi Lisa
I promise you’ll love it! Let me know!
I will definitely make this for me and my Hubby’s Netflix & chill binge nights. With the wine, of course 😉
Hi Lisa
That sounds like a great idea…with wine, of course! Love it!
This is beautiful! We always have these bagel toppings on Easter, but never presented as a board. Love it! Going on my ‘make it’ list!!
Hi Charlene!
I made this for Christmas breakfast and it was a huge hit! I think it’s going to be my go-to for just about everything! Please post a picture and tag me so I can see how your board turns out!
First time on you site…love it and love YOU! The Smoked Salmon board is on my list. Looks incredible. Where did you get the marble / wood charcuterie board?
Hi Dawn
I’m so happy you found Crazy Blonde Life! That Smoked Salmon Board is so delicious and easy to make! I know you’ll love it! The board came from Anthropologie! Thank you for your sweet comment!
You might be blonde, but you don’t look crazy to me~quite the opposite! I just found your site, and love seeing all your YUMMY recipes. I am a recipe freak, and always love to find really good recipe sites. My hubby of many years loves smoked salmon, and I love to make charcuterie boards, so this recipe will be fabulous for him and my large family. I think I will bring it to our Easter celebration this year. I hope it will look as good as yours!
Hi Marlene
Your comment makes me so happy! I am a little crazy, but aren’t we all!
The older I get, the more I love to be in the kitchen and I’m having fun with the recipes! Charcuterie is one of my passions! I love collecting boards and they’re taking over my house!
The smoked salmon is absolutely perfect for Easter! I’m making it as well!
Thank you so much for your comment!
Absolutely perfec! I have always served each of these ingredients separately for guest to create their own. This is SO MUCH BETTER! Only suggestion would be to include a printable recipe. Thank you for sharing! I am making this for guests tonight!!
