Perfect for preparing [cocktail party petits fours](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-mushroom-tartelettes) or a delicious breakfast buffet, this salmon platter helps consumers elevate any holiday gathering. The Trader Joe's Smoked Salmon Trio consists of "high quality fillets of farm-raised, Atlantic salmon," which is then smoked "slowly over natural hardwood chips to give them just the right amount of natural smokiness." To differentiate between the different fillets, each are rubbed in a distinct seasoning. The result is an earthy beet powder-cured Smoked Salmon, a herby dried dill Smoked Salmon, and a coarsely ground black pepper-topped Smoked Salmon that boasts an unforgettable bite. For serving, Trader Joe's suggest serving on [crackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elevated-cracker-assortment) with slices of cucumber, or topped on fresh bagels.
