Forman and Field London Cure Smoked Salmon

I was sent some smoked salmon by Forman & Field to try. I was wondering, could it be any better than normal smoked salmon? Well, yes it can actually. It has a gentle flavour which shows off the quality of the salmon and isn’t too salty. What better way to serve it than on some homemade blinis? Here I serve them with three flavoured types of creme fraiche: chilli and lemon, cucumber, horseradish.
