Made these for the upteenth time - so simple, yet so satisfying.

SALMON CANAPES

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened (about 4 oz) (I used 4 1/2 - 5 oz)
1/2 cup smoked salmon, chopped (about 2 oz) (I used Alaskan Sockeye)
2 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped (I omitted this, since I didn't have any on hand)
1/2 red onion, diced (I used sweet onion)
Dense mini pumpernickel rounds, squares, or quartered sandwich slices

DIRECTIONS:

1. Blend the cream cheese, salmon, and dill.
2. Spread the salmon mixture on top of each round. Arrange on a plate and top with diced onion. Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh dill.

Serves 6

I make these very same canapés but use capers instead of diced onion. Sometimes I serve with both on the side and let guests decide if they want either or both as a topping.

I use capers and onion. But we are kinda crazy caper lovers here. Last time I blanched the onion a little to knock off the edge.

BTW, the dill is definitely worthy if you make it again. I've used chives instead, too.

I make something similar, but use shallots instead of onions, mainly because I don't want too much in there. And, like Paul, I like to take that edge off the shallots,so I hold them under some running hot water in a strainer, which softens the flavor just enough. I'll have to try the capers in.my next batch.
