Every hostess wants to decorate the festive table beautifully and original, regardless of whether it is a magnificent celebration or a small family holiday. Fish slicing is perhaps one of the quickest and easiest ways to decorate a table where friends and family will gather.
Instructions
Step 1
Fish plate
To make an appetizing fish plate, fish of different colors are ideal: halibut, lightly salted salmon, smoked eel. You can decorate the fish platter with slices of fresh or pickled vegetables, lettuce, olives or olives, lemons.
So, to decorate the dish, several varieties of red and white fish are taken, some green lettuce leaves, lemon wedges, herbs and olives. A large round plate is lined with lettuce leaves and thinly cut slices of red fish are laid out in a semicircle along the top edge, one olive is laid out between each piece. The second row is laid out a little lower, also in a semicircle with slices of white fish. At the bottom, at the base, a rosette of red fish is placed: cut the fish into long slices, lay them out one by one and roll them in turn (in a circle) - we get a rosette. Above and below the rose are placed two slices of lemon and several sprigs of herbs.
In order to cut the fish into beautiful neat slices, first of all, you need a very sharp knife. Immediately before cutting, the fish is soaked with a paper towel to remove excess fat, and it is slightly frozen, since it is much more convenient to cut hard fish. When the fish is ready for slicing, a knife is taken and slices are cut along the entire piece of fish.
Step 2
Fish rolls
Smoked salmon is perfect for fish rolls. The fish is cut into slices and rolled into graceful rolls, which are tied with an arrow of green onions. There are other ways to decorate fish rolls. A grape, a cube of cheese and an olive are strung on a skewer. A slice of fish is pricked along the edges of the skewer so that a sail is obtained. Two cucumbers are cut in half and laid out on a plate, cut down on the lettuce leaves. Skewers with fish "sails" are pricked on the cucumbers, it turns out very original and beautiful!
Step 3
Fish slices flower
To decorate this fish still life, you will need a small flat round dish, which is covered with green salad leaves. Salmon or stellate sturgeon is cut into thin wide slices and laid out in a circle, like flower petals. A thin slice of lemon and olive is placed on each piece of fish. A circle of lemon is placed in the center, and a spoonful of black or red caviar is laid out on it.
Such a fish flower will undoubtedly impress guests and become a wonderful decoration for the festive table!
