Is this meant to be served at room temperature as an Hors d'oeuvre? Would you serve it plain or with crackers?

I made this with flounder instead of salmon and it was amazing! This recipe is a keeper!

I've made this recipe many times, and it's so good. Reminds me of the packaged smoked salmon my Aunt in Seattle always sent to us for Christmas. Yummy!

I wasn't so big on the brown sugar and it could have uses some herbs...
