Get everyone's attention by serving these stunning Smoked salmon canapés with caviar at your next gathering. Easy, irresistible and fancy!
Ingredients
- 100 gm smoked salmon (roughly chopped) (NOTE 1)
- ⅓ cup salmon caviar
- 250 gm cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 3 tbsp whole egg mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp finely chopped dill (extra to garnish)
- 8 pickled baby cucumbers (drained and roughly chopped) (NOTE 2)
- 1 tsp tabasco (optional)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ tsp salt
- pinch of pepper
- 1 medium cucumber (sliced approx. 0.5cm) (NOTE 3)
- 20 crackers (NOTE 3)
Instructions
- Place the cream cheese, sour cream and mayonnaise into a food processor and pulse until combined. Add in the dill, pickles, tabasco, lemon juice, salt and pepper, then process until combined. Lastly, add in the smoked salmon and process until smooth. Have a taste of the mixture and add more salt or pepper if needed.
- Place the smoked salmon mixture into a piping bag (or use a spoon). Pipe approximately a tablespoon of the mixture onto the slices of cucumber and crackers. Place a small amount of salmon caviar on top of the mixture and garnish with dill. Serve immediately.
Notes
(NOTE 1) Smoked salmon - There are usually two varieties of smoked salmon in the chilled section of the supermarket. For this recipe, we want the thinly sliced salmon on a cardboard tray that looks raw.
(NOTE 2) Pickles - My favourite pickles are baby cucumbers or cornichons because they are not only cute, they're also super tasty and crunchy. Regular pickled gherkins will work, but you would only need two or 3 depending on their size.
(NOTE 3) Cucumber and crackers - You can serve the smoked salmon dip on whatever base you like. Cucumbers or lettuce leaves are great healthy choices. Avoid crackers that are likely to go soggy or stale after a short while, if you're planning to serve the canapés at a gathering.
Leftovers - Store the smoked salmon mixture with no caviar in an airtight container and refrigerate, it'll keep for 3 days.
