• Preparation: 15 minutes
• Cooking: 10 minutes (for boiled eggs alternative recipe option)
• Total: 25 minutes
• Servings: 6 people
• Difficulty: Very simple

Ingredients

For the canapés

• 500 grams of Smoked salmon
• Cream cheese spread, 150 grams
• Mini biscottes, 24 pieces
• Seaweed caviar (optional), 2 teaspoons
• Fresh chives, 1 tablespoon chopped
• Milk, 2 tablespoons
• Ground black pepper to taste

Ingredients for variant with boiled egg

• Eggs, 3 units
• Lettuce leaves, a few leaves for presentation

If you don't have mini biscottes, you can use sliced bread and cut it into small squares. This will facilitate its preparation and maintain the crispy texture by lightly toasting it at home.

Utensils we will use

• Mixing bowl
• Whisk or fork for mixing cream
• Sharp knife and cutting board
• Small spoon for serving the cream
• Platter or tray for presentation
• Small pot for boiling eggs (if using the egg variant)

Preparation

1. Prepare the base cream

1. Mix the cream cheese: place the cream cheese in a bowl.
2. Add liquids and spices: include the two tablespoons of milk and ground black pepper to taste.
3. Stir until smooth: beat with a whisk until you get a creamy mixture, without lumps. This will make the texture smooth and easy to spread.

2. Cut the salmon

1. Use a sharp knife: cut the smoked salmon into thin, slender strips so they are easy to place on the canapés.
2. Separate into manageable portions: 2 to 3 strips per canapé to balance the flavor and texture.

3. Assemble the canapés

1. Apply the cream: with a small spoon, place a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture on each mini biscotte.
2. Place the salmon: on top of the cream, place the salmon strips neatly and not too tightly to highlight their texture.
3. Add the seaweed caviar: a little of this ingredient adds a special visual and taste touch; it is an economical substitute and available in most supermarkets.
4. Sprinkle chives: finely chopped, to decorate and give a fresh aroma that balances the dish.

4. Variant with boiled egg and lettuce

1. Boil the eggs: place them in salted water and boil for 10 minutes until hard-boiled.
2. Peel and cut: slice the eggs into very thin slices or halves.
3. Flatten bread: with a rolling pin, lightly flatten the bread slices so they are flexible and easy to roll without breaking.
4. Assemble the canapé: spread cream cheese on the bread, place a small lettuce leaf, salmon, and hard-boiled egg.
5. Roll and cut: roll like a Swiss roll and cut into small portions forming small rolls.
6. Season: add ground pepper and tie with chives for presentation.

To finish and serve

Adjust seasoning if necessary. Present the canapés on a wide platter so they look appealing. Serve fresh so the bread retains its texture and the cream its lightness. These Salmon Bites pair perfectly with a white wine cold or a soft sparkling wine, ideal for whetting the appetite without overwhelming the palate.

I want to share these tips with you

• Freeze the salmon beforehand if you want to ensure fresh texture and flavor without losing any quality during handling.
• Do not overload the canapés with too many ingredients so that the balance between the Sea Flavor and creaminess is maintained.
• Use a sharp knife to cut the salmon and prevent it from fraying or breaking, so each canapé maintains its delicate texture.
• Keep the canapés cold until serving time, especially when preparing them in advance.
• If you don't have seaweed caviar, an alternative is to use some chopped nori seaweed flakes, which will provide texture and flavor without complications.

5 keys to make it perfect

1. Salmon freshness: Always choose good quality smoked salmon, preferably Select Salmon, to ensure intense flavor and smooth texture.
2. Do not soak the biscottes: To prevent them from softening, assemble the canapés just before serving and do not let them sit with the cream for too long.
3. Uniform cut: Cutting the salmon into thin, regular strips favors a professional presentation and an even distribution of flavor.
4. Using seaweed caviar: It is ideal for adding texture and color, giving an air of Gourmet Canapés without raising the cost.
5. Fresh chives: Adds a touch of aromatic freshness that contrasts perfectly with the creaminess of the cheese and the marine flavor.
