Smoked Salmon Crostini Recipes

Steps:

• Cut salmon into thin strips. Mix cheese with the spring onions and capers. Store in the fridge for up to 2 days. Spread each crostini with the cheese mix, top with a strip of salmon. Serve with lemon wedges.
• For the crostini bases, cut each of the 4 baguettes into 20 slices, ½cm thick, discarding ends. Drizzle with olive oil and place under the grill. Cook for 2-3 mins until lightly golden, then turn over and cook for another 1-2 mins until golden and crisp all over. Do this in batches and store in a large, airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides of the bread with the oil. Bake until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
• In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, horseradish, and 1 tablespoon dill; season with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
• Dividing evenly, spread the cream cheese mixture on the toasted baguette slices. Top with the salmon and sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of dill.

Steps:

• Spray the bread slices on both sides with olive oil spray. Grill over medium-high heat until browned on both sides. Spread each slice with a bit of wasabi, top with a slice of salmon, and sprinkle with green onion or chives.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• For the hard-cooked egg aioli: Place the eggs in a single layer in a straight-sided sauce pan, and cover completely with water. Bring to a boil, and then remove from the heat and cover tightly with a lid, 15 minutes.
• Immediately shock the eggs in an ice bath. When the eggs are cool enough to handle, gently peel off the shells and finely chop.
• Stir together the mayonnaise, dill, horseradish, mustard and capers until combined. Fold in the eggs, and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
• For assembly: Slice the bread into 1/2-inch slices, and then cut each slice lengthwise into 3 or 4 pieces to create 35 to 40 crostini.
• Top each crostini with a slice of salmon and a dollop of the aioli, and garnish with dill fronds.

Steps:

• Reserving some small sprigs of dill for garnishing the crostini, in a bowl, mix the mustard, dill, sugar and capers until they are well-combined, and set aside.
• Heat the grill, brush the French bread slices on both sides with the olive oil, place on the grill and grill them until they are lightly browned on both sides, turning them once, about 2-3 minutes.
• Spread about 1 teaspoon of the mustard mixture onto each of the toasted bread slices; add a couple of slices of cucumber, top with the smoked salmon and garnish with the reserved sprigs of fresh dill.
• Chef's Notes: The cucumber, mustard mixture and toasted bread can all be prepared ahead of time. Chill the cucumbers and the mustard mixture; and assemble the crostini just before serving.
