Easy & Elegant Salmon Roe Canapés Recipe
Salmon Roe Canapés bring the wow factor - smoked salmon mousse on a crispy base topped with glossy pearls of salmon caviar.
Equipment
- 2 Teaspoons
Ingredients
Canape bases
- 6 slices Bread
- 3 tablespoon Cooking oil
Smoked salmon mousse
- 150 grams (5 oz) Smoked salmon
- 280 grams (8 oz) Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoon Creme Fraiche
- 1 Lemon
- 2 tablespoon Chives
- Salt and pepper
Garnish
- 85 grams (3 oz) Salmon roe
- 2 tablespoon Fresh dill
Instructions
Canape bases
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F
- Roll the slices of bread out until they condense right down, then cut out shapes using a knife or a cookie cutter.
- Pour the oil onto a plate, then dip each side of the bread base into it and put them onto a lined baking tray.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until crisp, then allow to cool completely.
Smoked salmon mousse topping
- Blend the smoked salmon, cream cheese, creme fraiche, lemon juice, lemon zest, and chives together until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
How to assemble
- Use two teaspoons to quenelle the smoked salmon mousse on top of each canape base.
- Use another teaspoon to gently top the canapes with pearls of salmon roe.
- Garnish with a small sprig of fresh dill and serve immediately.
Notes
You can also mix the smoked salmon mousse by hand using a fork to break apart the fish and blend it together with a spatula. It will just be a bit chunkier, but that's no bad thing.
You can use storebought crostini or blinis instead of the canape bases to save time.
