An elegant and tasty appetiser: who doesn't like smoked salmon? These Smoked Salmon Crostini - or small toasted rounds of bread - topped with smoked salmon can be prepared ahead of time, and assembled just before you are ready to serve them.

Time 15m

Yield 16 crostini

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 large English cucumber, very finely sliced
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
1/2 tablespoon fresh dill, for garnish
1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 cup capers, very finely chopped
16 slices French baguettes (thin slices)
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 slices smoked salmon, halved

Steps:

Reserving some small sprigs of dill for garnishing the crostini, in a bowl, mix the mustard, dill, sugar and capers until they are well-combined, and set aside.
Heat the grill, brush the French bread slices on both sides with the olive oil, place on the grill and grill them until they are lightly browned on both sides, turning them once, about 2-3 minutes.
Spread about 1 teaspoon of the mustard mixture onto each of the toasted bread slices; add a couple of slices of cucumber, top with the smoked salmon and garnish with the reserved sprigs of fresh dill.
Chef's Notes: The cucumber, mustard mixture and toasted bread can all be prepared ahead of time. Chill the cucumbers and the mustard mixture; and assemble the crostini just before serving.

Tips:

To ensure the best flavor, use high-quality smoked salmon. Look for salmon that is firm and has a vibrant color.
If you don't have crème fraîche, you can substitute sour cream or Greek yogurt.
Use a sturdy bread for the crostini, such as a baguette or ciabatta. This will help them hold up to the toppings.
Toast the bread until it is golden brown and crispy. This will give the crostini a nice flavor and texture.
Spread the crème fraîche or sour cream on the crostini before adding the smoked salmon. This will help to keep the salmon from drying out.
Top the crostini with a variety of toppings, such as capers, onions, and herbs. This will add flavor and texture to the crostini.
Serve the crostini immediately or store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.

Smoked salmon crostini are a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are simple to make and can be tailored to your own taste.
