Smoked Salmon Bites
Blinis topped with a cream cheese and chive spread, then wild smoked salmon and a dollop of caviar is placed on top. Each bite is garnished with lemon zest and chive.
Ingredients
- 1 package Blinis (Russian pancakes) Blinis can be purchased at whole foods or other grocery stores.
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1 cup greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup green onions- chopped use only the green part
- 1/4 cup zest from 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup juice from 1 lemon
- 1-2 packages wild caught smoked salmon
- 1 can caviar can be purchased at whole foods or other seafood specialty shops
- 1/4 cup chives- cut into strips for garnish
- salt/pepper for taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl combine cream cheese and greek yogurt with chives and lemon juice. Mix well to combine ingredients. Taste and add salt and pepper for flavor. Taste again to make sure desired flavor has been achieved.
- On a serving plate arrange the blinis. Taking each one at a time spread the cream cheese mixture on top. Probably about 1 tsp on each blini. Once all of the blinis are covered with cream cheese mixture place pieces of smoked salmon on top. Make sure the pieces are small enough that they dont overwhelm the blini. Next, place a small dollop of caviar on each smoked salmon blini.
- Sprinkle lemon zest on top of each blini, then place a sprig of chive for garnish. Serve these beautiful bites on your favorite serving platter.
