Smoked Salmon Canapés with Dill

I can’t imagine a cocktail party without smoked salmon canapés; this staple is always the guests’ favorite!

Makes 12 canapés

  • 0.25 cup sour cream, 14% fat
  • 1 medium lemon, (zested and squeezed)
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill, (reserve 2 stems for garnish)
  • 6 tablespoons slices of smoked salmon
  • 3 slices rye bread
  • 12 whole capers
  • 12 whole fresh pink peppercorns (optional )
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  1. Cut the bread into 12×3 inch rounds. Mix sour cream, one tablespoon of lemon juice, the lemon zest and chopped dill. Top rounds with a small dollop of dill sour-cream, add a slice of smoked salmon on top. Garnish each round with a caper, a pink peppercorn, and a dill sprig.
  2. Reserve refrigerated until service time.

If assembling in advance, butter the bread to prevent it from getting soggy.
