Dill Cream Cheese Smoked Salmon Canape recipe

[Saviolo]

So, a bit of a simple one this week. This is a really easy and delicious canapé to make for a nice summer party. Takes no time, is bright and light in flavour, and is visually impressive, too. For a little added flair, you can pipe the cream cheese onto the cucumber segments with a little star tip, if you like. We like the simplicity of the quenelles.

You can switch things up in this. We feel like dill is really an important flavour component to this, but if you just really don't like dill, you can replace with something like tarragon, savoury, or thyme. Normally with cream cheese and smoked salmon you'd also expect capers, but we found that the pickled flavour sort of dragged down the freshness of the rest of the ingredients together. You're welcome to try them on here, but we prefer it without. Also, a little bit of fresh cracked black pepper is nice in the cream cheese mix.

Also, just passed 600 subscribers on YouTube! Thanks again to everyone who has watched, subscribed, and shared our videos!!

1. I would also try it on..

Little rye bread rounds.

5. If you use the rye rounds

It might make more sense to bring the capers back into the equation! Either chopped up with the dill in the cheese or just a couple garnishing the top.

6. Sure...

Either way....

2. You could use watercress, too.

I might make this for a party, I live in Seattle, and while I can't eat salmon myself, I have it frequently at parties and I think this would go over well. (I thought of watercress because I have made a somewhat similar appetizer of cream cheese spread over naan, with watercress on top of that and the smoked salmon on top of it all). Just cut it into squares, like a pizza. People like it, but I think they'd like this too. Thanks!

4. Nope.

But the salmon in Seattle is good, and I don't mind at all cooking it for my friends.
