Smoked Salmon Boat

This is one of my favourite morning breakfasts of the one by two kitchen food album. I'm a huge fan of the South Beach Diet, and although I occasionally cheat, the combination between my sugar allergy and my belief in South Beach Diet usually restrain me from eating carbohydrates. However this salmon boat is a must try for salmon and cheese lover! This is a very 'Western' sort of dish though with Feta/Greek/Goat's cheese which might not appeal to some of my Asian friends. But hey - life is about trying out new stuffs and falling in and out of love (to food as well!)

Right so - Salmon Boat! This recipe is inspired by Johnny, a friend of my roommate and I who came to visit Nottingham and made something similar to this (I alter them to boats cos I found the idea of boats a lot more fun and cuter!) These recipes would give you a lot of servings, depending on how big you like your boat is and of course - the salmon crescents!

Ingredients:

1. Multi-grain brown bread (can be found in Waitrose for those in the UK)
2. Salmon crescent (from Waitrose, can be substituted with Smoked Salmon)
3. Feta/Greek/Goat's cheese, preferably in the round-shaped packaging
4. Fresh basil leaves

How to prepare:

1. Prepare six branches of fresh basil leaves, wash, drain, and dry them
2. Slice the bread around 4 cm thick and store the bread in a cool dry place (we don't want no damp or mouldy bread.. eww!)
3. Slice the Goat's cheese around 1 cm thick and put them back on the fridge (yeah you know)
4. Cut the salmon crescent in half, or if using normal Smoked Salmon, slice the smoked salmon to small pieces and mix them together with a a spoonful of goat's cheese in a small cup and use your tablespoon to roll them to salmon cheese balls
5. Assemble the boat as follows: bread for the base, cheese slice, basil leaves, and top them off with the salmon crescent or the salmon cheese balls
6. Enjoy your quickie, pretty and tasty breakfast!
