Sea Pantry Mezze Platter
Mezze is a vibrant, shareable style of dining popular throughout the Mediterranean and the Middle East. Similar to tapas or a charcuterie board, a mezze platter combines hot and cold dishes into a colorful, flavorful spread that often serves as a full meal.
This Sea Pantry Mezze Platter features Mediterranean staples like hummus, chimichurri, roasted vegetables, and warm pita, alongside a standout addition: crispy salmon burgers. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and high-quality protein, salmon is a delicious and nourishing way to bring seafood to the center of the plate. When sourced sustainably, it’s also a smart choice for the planet.
Serve the platter for a casual gathering or a relaxed weeknight dinner. It’s satisfying, versatile, and easy to prep ahead—perfect for mixing and matching your favorite flavors from the water!
