Smoked Salmon Canapés

Monday, May 10, 2021

You don't need a special occasion for an excuse to snack on these elegant, savory appetizers! Toast slices of everything bagels (we recommend TGM's) for crisp miniature platters to spread with a tangy schmear of crème fraîche, cream cheese & dill. Top with smoked salmon & thin slices of cucumber, then finish with a scattering of capers. This is the perfect recipe for your next brunch get-together!

 Serves 4–6

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 everything bagels
• 1 1/2 oz butter
• 1 Tbsp dill
• 1/2 cup cream cheese

• 4 oz smoked salmon
• 1 Tbsp capers
• salt 

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. MAKE BAGEL TOASTS

• Preheat oven to 425°F

• On a sheet pan, brush bagel toasts with melted butter
• Transfer to the oven and bake 5–8 min, until toasted

2. PREP TOPPINGS

• Chop dill

• Peel cucumber and thinly slice

3. GARNISH & GATHER

• Assemble toasts by topping with schmear, a thin slice of cucumber, a piece of smoked salmon & a sprinkle of capers
