Directions
Start by trimming the corners of the bread slices with a knife. My trick here is to do it with a round pastry cutter to give the canapés an elegant shape.
Now, spread a generous layer of sour cream or cream cheese over each slice of bread. The cream acts as a barrier between the bread and the salmon, helping to prevent the bread from getting soggy.
Cut the smoked salmon into strips or leave the slices whole for a more rustic presentation. Place the salmon on top of each slice of creamed bread. This is where you can get creative, folding and rolling the salmon strips in any way you like.
Add a squeeze of lemon juice over the salmon. This enhances the flavor of the salmon and adds a touch of freshness.
To finish, garnish each canapé with fresh dill and a few capers. The dill not only adds a green touch to each canapé, but also perfectly complements the flavor of the salmon.
And that's it! You have delicious smoked salmon canapés that are ideal for your special events or simply to enjoy at a gourmet dinner at home. Remember, the key to a perfect canapé is in the quality of the ingredients, so choose the best smoked salmon and bread you can find. Buon appetito!
