This delicious recipe is packed with health benefits and makes for a very pretty holiday appetizer!

Salmon is rich in Omega-3’s (good for our cardiovascular system) and protein (good for our muscles).

Caviar and all fish eggs are rich in vitamin B12 which is excellent for fighting winter fatigue.
