Method

Prepare the Base
Lightly toast your blinis or baguette slices until just crisp and golden.
Allow to cool slightly.

Mix the Creamy Topping
In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, lemon juice, chopped dill, and black pepper.
Mix until smooth and creamy.

Assemble the Canapés
Spread about a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture on each base.
Top with a delicate fold of smoked salmon slice.

Garnish
Add a small sprig of dill, a few lemon zest curls, or a caper on top for a polished finish.

Serve & Enjoy
Arrange on a serving platter and serve chilled.
Perfect paired with champagne or a crisp white wine.
