Mascarpone and Goat Cheese Torta with Smoked Salmon
A delicious luxury, most quality varieties of smoked salmon are cold smoked, a longer, more demanding process than hot smoking. Nova, which once denoted smoked salmon from Nova Scotia, now refers to any cold-smoked Atlantic salmon. Lox is salmon that has been both brine cured and smoked; it is a slightly saltier product. Because this torta calls for chopped smoked salmon, you may use slices, the most readily available form, or trimmings or scraps, which are often available in fish markets and specialty-food shops.

Very pretty but not what I expected
May 27, 2012
It seems I'm the odd one out on this one, but I just didn't love this. I think it was just too bland for me.
On the upside, it does look very pretty - great combination of colours! Impressive in appearance, but lacking in flavour, in my opinion.
Pros: Healthy, Appearance, Impressive
Cons: not super flavourful

A big hit!
November 21, 2011
I am not a cook, so this was a challenge for me...I was stumped on what bowl size to use, but after I figured that out, it was EASY! Brought it to my monthly "Girls Night Out" gathering and everyone LOVED it. There were no leftovers!
Pros: Quick, Easy, Impressive

This is great for a party or holiday meal

You can make this the night before, so that's always night. It was a big hit, even with my picky husband. Recipe is easy to follow.

Wonderful Party Appetizer
August 28, 2010
I made this for a summer BBQ with with several other "foodies" present. It was a huge hit, and so easy to make...how can you ask for more!
I did add finely chopped green onions, dill, and grated and chopped lemon zest to the cheese mixture, which went really went well with the salmon!

Fit for King Albert II and Queen Paola
August 2, 2010
I am an American living in Belguim . . . I made this outstandingly wonderful Hors d'œuvre followed by Salmon in Cream and Muscadet Sauce (Saumon à la Crème au Muscadet), a William Sonoma recipe as well, for company visiting from the States and it was the w/out a doubt the best salmon meal I have ever prepared and served. Thank you for the great recipes WS!

Big Crowd Pleaser
May 14, 2010
I've made this several times and it always is a big hit. Very easy to make and pretty to look at. The last party I took it to, no one would cut into it until the end of the party and then it was gone in 15 minutes.

Great appetizer

Easy to make and great presentation. I even froze a bach to use later and it made no difference in taste. I have been asked for the recipe by several people.
