Smoked Salmon Cake

How to prepare a cake of smoked salmon .

I don’t know why this salmon pie reminds me of those fish recipes that appeared in cookbooks from the 60s.

Those photos with their own vintage touch, in which fish cakes with or without jelly were presented. Always accompanied by an infinite prop on a long wooden table full of meats.

With this preparation, the same thing that happened to me with the seafood cocktail   or the seafood salpicón  that my mother prepared years ago, and that are always a sure value, delicious and worthy of assessment.

This dish really can’t be easier. It is about preparing a kind of salty tart where the layers of filling are interspersed with bread, in this case a mold and it is presented lined with sheets of smoked salmon that gives it a bright and colorful appearance.

I encourage you to get down to work this Christmas and prepare this delicious salmon cake at home , I promise you sure success.
