Here’s a foolproof, budget-friendly recipe with a touch of originality for this smoked salmon cake with herbs and pink peppercorns.

It’s the perfect dish for a picnic or brunch—it can be enjoyed hot or cold and prepared ahead of time. For the salmon, I make this cake with smoked salmon sliced into strips.

As for the herbs, I personally like dill and chives, fresh or dried—you can vary the seasoning and let your creativity run wild!

For another variation with a unique flavor combination, replace the pink peppercorns with a small piece of ginger root, which you’ll grate into the batter. Bon appétit!
