Smoked Salmon Appetizer

Every time I’m taking one thing to a gathering, the primary thought that pops into my head is logistics. How the meals will journey, does it want reheating, does it must be assembled, how many individuals do I have to serve. The choice of what to take is invariably narrowed down drastically as soon as these components are decided.

If it’s a gathering the place I can’t reheat what I’m taking (or if I don’t wish to add to the craziness of an occasion), then that cuts out half the appetisers in my repertoire. If I don’t wish to hassle with assembling little crostinis or comparable beautiful, scrumptious however fiddly issues, then that chops out one other good chunk of finger meals recipes I usually use. Ever assembled 50 smoked salmon blinis earlier than? No? It’s a ache. I wish to be chatting to my mates, not utilizing tweezers to assemble beautiful little appetisers that folks inhale in a single chew!

So this smoked salmon appetizer solves a bunch of my celebration meals logistical challenges. Straightforward to move. No fiddly meeting. They’re served at room temperature. They usually style SO GOOD!

PS Sure, the recipe says it makes 49 and sure you may solely rely 45 within the picture above. what occurred to the lacking 4.

I completely cheat with this recipe. It was impressed by an appetiser I had at a professionally catered occasion and it was made with crepes. I make mine with flatbreads or gentle tortillas. Actually, I promise you, it’s simply nearly as good – and saves tons of time.

Am I bizarre for considering this smoked salmon appetizer is fairly elegant? This actually is the form of meals I’d proudly serve at a cocktail party!

I very intentionally waited till I had a gathering at my place earlier than I made these as a result of that is the form of meals that I’ve problem controlling myself round. So I truly requested my mom to organise her weekly golf day at a course close to my home, simply so I might invite her and her mates round for wine and style testing after golf!

They gave these Smoked Salmon Bites and Dorothy’s Moist Apple Cake a VERY large thumbs up. I received loads of constructive suggestions on one other appetiser I attempted out and am engaged on it! 😉 – Johnsat x

PS My mom texted me on the eighth gap (they solely play 9 holes) which is after I determined to make Dorothy’s Best Ever Moist Apple Cake. I had it within the oven and baking once they walked within the door. It’s that quick!

PPS I’m totally conscious that I’m swinging between “appetiser” and “appetizer”. US vs Aus spelling – auto right is killing me!

Rating: 5.0/5
( 1 voted )

Ingredients

  • 250g / 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Zest of 1 lemon (large) – more is better, adjust to taste!
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup dill, chopped
  • 3 soft large wraps / tortillas (approx 23 cm / 9″ diameter) (Note 1)
  • 350 – 480 g / 12 – 16 oz smoked salmon slices
  • Table butter

Instructions

  1. Mix Spread ingredients together.
  2. Spread half on a flatbread in a square shape.
  3. Top with half the smoked salmon.
  4. Spread a flatbread with butter – just thinly, like buttering a piece of bread. Place the butter side down onto the salmon (Note 2)
  5. Spread remaining Spread on flatbread, again in a square shape. Top with remaining salmon. Butter 3rd wrap and place butter side down onto the salmon.
  6. Use a large flat object, like a cutting board, and press down lightly to smooth the surface and compress everything.
  7. Cover with cling wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours (up to 48 hours) so the filling sets.
  8. Using a serrated knife, trim edges to make a square. Don’t cut down – filling may squirt out, cut back and forth in a sawing motion. Chef privileges: nibble on offcuts.
  9. Cut square into 6 or 7 even strips, then each strip into squares. Serve with toothpicks, wedges of lemon and extra dill for garnish.

Notes

1. I use Mission large soft flatbread wraps, sold at Coles and Woolworths in Australia. You can use any soft flatbread. Make sure they are not like pockets – if they are, they will separate once cut.
2. I forgot to do this step in the video. The butter helps the salmon stick to the wrap – you’ll notice in the video that some of my stacks are a bit wonky. It makes it far easier to cut if the salmon sticks to the wrap.
3. This keeps well, already cut, for up to 2 days, in an airtight container. Stack them on top of each other with baking paper in between each layer. Try to pack them so the top layer has the lid pressing down lightly on it, to keep everything compressed and together. Some flatbread brands can curl up a bit on the edges when left out for a while – not a big deal, more about appearance.
Alternatively, assemble the stack and refrigerate for 2 days then cut before serving (this is the better option). I have not tried to freeze. All the components in this are fine to freeze, but I think the filling may lose some flavour.
4. Nutrition per piece, assuming 49 pieces. This doesn’t take into account the offcuts so it’s slightly higher than it actually is.
5. The smoked salmon quantity has been increased to include an upper range because it has been brought to my attention that some smoked salmon is sliced thicker so you can be a bit short. So to err on the side of caution, purchase 480g/16oz of salmon, but you may use less.
6. Smoked Salmon Appetiser nutrition per serving, assuming 49 pieces. This does not take into account the offcuts so the actual calories per piece will be lower.
