A Beautiful Salmon and Lemon Myrtle Cream Cheese Platter
Hot-smoked salmon works best in this recipe, but if you prefer cold smoked salmon, you can use it instead. While dried lemon myrtle powder might be hard to come by outside of Australia, you could try sprinkling the cheese with a little white pepper, lemon zest and edible lavender leaves.
