I had cream cheese, salmon, capers, and chives on one side and then smashed avocado and red pepper flakes on the other. Similar to a bagel is toast, but you have some creativity to jazz it up and have different types of toast to pair along with it. This simple 3 ingredient bagel is great with an everything bagel, whipped cream cheese, and lots of smoked salmon slices. Oceanfood Sales sent me a few different items to play around with, so below is everything I made with it. You can find them at Thrifty’s, T&T, Sobey’s Safeway, Buy Low, Quality Foods, and Whole Foods Market. Nanuk is Oceanfood Sales’ house brand with Nanuk smoked salmon being one of their top-leading products. With it’s smokey flavour and soft texture, cream cheese is it’s best friend. It’s very versatile in just about anything. PPS I’m fully aware that I’m swinging between “appetiser” and “appetizer”.There are many types of smoked salmon products, but you are probably most familiar with the sliced smoked salmon that comes frozen.

PS My mother texted me on the 8th hole (they only play 9 holes) which is when I decided to make Dorothy’s Easiest Ever Moist Apple Cake. I had it in the oven and baking when they walked in the door.

I got plenty of constructive feedback on another appetiser I tried out and am working on it! 😉 – Nagi xĬoconut Shrimp / Prawns with Thai Mango Dipping Sauce They gave these Smoked Salmon Bites and Dorothy’s Moist Apple Cake a VERY big thumbs up. So I actually asked my mother to organise her weekly golf day at a course near my house, just so I could invite her and her friends around for wine and taste testing after golf! I very deliberately waited until I had a gathering at my place before I made these because this is the sort of food that I have difficulty controlling myself around. Honestly, I promise you, it is just as good – and saves tons of time.Īm I weird for thinking this smoked salmon appetizer is quite elegant? This really is the sort of food I would proudly serve at a dinner party! I make mine with flatbreads or soft tortillas. It was inspired by an appetiser I had at a professionally catered event and it was made with crepes. PS Yes, the recipe says it makes 49 and yes you can only count 45 in the photo above. So this smoked salmon appetizer solves a bunch of my party food logistical challenges. I want to be chatting to my friends, not using tweezers to assemble gorgeous little appetisers that people inhale in one bite! Ever assembled 50 smoked salmon blinis before? No? It’s a pain. If I don’t want to bother with assembling little crostinis or similar gorgeous, delicious but fiddly things, then that chops out another good chunk of finger food recipes I regularly use. If it’s a gathering where I can’t reheat what I’m taking (or if I don’t want to add to the craziness of an event), then that cuts out half the appetisers in my repertoire. The decision of what to take is invariably narrowed down drastically once these factors are determined. How the food will travel, does it need reheating, does it need to be assembled, how many people do I need to serve. Whenever I am taking something to a gathering, the first thought that pops into my head is logistics. Oh – and it looks gorgeous and tastes fabulous! It was a hit with my taste testers! This smoked salmon appetizer ticks all my boxes for finger food: it’s fast to make loads (no fiddly assembly), it’s served at room temperature and can be made ahead.
