Cold Smoked Salmon Platter
Yes, keto as served. About 2g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Estonian dishes.
What it is
A classic Estonian appetizer, this platter features thinly sliced, high-quality cold smoked salmon. It's elegantly presented, often garnished with fresh dill sprigs and lemon wedges, providing a delicate and rich flavor. Sometimes served with a dollop of plain sour cream.
Key ingredients
Cold smoked salmon, fresh dill, lemon wedges. (Optional: sour cream, horseradish cream).
Optional tweaks
Naturally keto-friendly. Ensure any accompanying sauces (if not plain sour cream) are sugar-free. Request to omit traditional high-carb garnishes like blinis, dark bread, or capers (which contain minimal carbs, but best to confirm preparation).
Say this to the waiter (Estonian)
Külmsuitsulõhe: Palun veenduge, et kastmed on suhkruvabad. Palun ilma blini ja musta leivata. Kas kaparid on suhkruta valmistatud?
For the Külmsuitsulõhe, please ensure any sauces are sugar-free. No blinis or dark bread. Are capers sugar-free?
Watch out for
Minimal. The main risks are hidden sugars in commercial horseradish sauces or if served with non-keto accompaniments that are not specifically requested to be omitted.
