Lay out the smoked salmon in a circular pattern on a platter.

Cut straight down the middle of a package of smoked salmon using shears or a thick knife.

Roll the two straight edge sides of the salmon with your fingers to create smoked salmon roses.

Use a julienne slicer to cut small cucumbers into flower shapes and scatter them throughout the board.

Separate the yolk from the white of a hardboiled or softboiled egg and chop them individually.

Sprinkle the chopped egg whites throughout the board and top with the bright yellow yolk.

Sprinkle capers over the salmon platter.

Mix goat cheese with ricotta cheese, frozen herbs, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.

Load the goat cheese mixture into a large piping bag and refrigerate it.

Pipe the goat cheese mixture into a Christmas tree shape on the platter and adorn with pomegranate seeds.

Dot the festive trees with pomegranate seeds and arrange crackers around the salmon board.
