Need an Elegant Appetizer? Smoked Salmon Canapes





For the Crust
You can either use one Boboli (you may use a pre-made Focaccia or even Naan bread) or I make my own crust by using a package of pizza dough, rolled out thinly. Brush with olive oil, salt and pepper and bake until cooked, but not browned. Make sure you cool this before assembling.

Cream Cheese Topping

1 package of cream cheese
3/4 cup of Sour Cream
2 tbs of horseradish
1tbs of fresh lemon juice
1 tsp of grated lemon zest
3 tbs of capers (chopped), Plus 2 tbs for topping
1 tbs of fresh dill
Mix all of the above

Salmon Topping
1-2 packages of smoked salmon
1/4 of one small red onion THINLY sliced
Capers

Spread the cream cheese mixture so it covers the entire pizza. Add the onion next and then add sliced salmon on top of the cream cheese and onions. You do not want any of the cream cheese exposed. Add capers and extra dill as a garnish. Serve chilled or at room temp.

Cut into one inch pieces for Canapes or serve as a pizza in squares. 

Looking to get extra fancy? 
Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes
Top with caviar
Top with chives
Get as creative as you can with this one. You cannot go wrong!
