Salmon in Blankets with Maple Glaze

What traditional food comes to your mind when you hear “Christmas”?

Turkey? Mince pies? Different type of party food sold at pretty much every supermarket?

I wanted to take a common Christmas meal, pigs in blankets, and give it a Dine with Delight twist – salmon in blankets. Perfect for parties, bite-size food and absolutely delicious!
