I do like smoked salmon, and what you describe: simply presented so that the real flavour is the star.

There is a restaurant near here which specialises in Texas food but the huge photo of some of their selections always makes me cringe. Everything is black from either being overcooked of from sauces smothered all over everything. The only item on the menu which looks appetising is the sweet potato fries, which I have eaten at other places and make them at home as well. Yum!
