Steps:
- Make crêpes:
- Blend milk, flour, egg, and 2 teaspoons oil in a blender until smooth. Add chives and dill and pulse 1 or 2 times to just combine. Chill batter, covered, 30 minutes.
- Stir batter to redistribute herbs. Lightly brush a 10-inch nonstick skillet with oil, then heat over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Holding skillet off heat, pour in half of batter (1/4 cup), immediately tilting and rotating skillet to coat bottom. (If batter sets before skillet is coated, reduce heat slightly for next crêpe.) Return skillet to heat and cook until crêpe is just set and pale golden around edges, 10 to 15 seconds. Loosen edge of crêpe with a heatproof plastic spatula, then flip crêpe over carefully with your fingertips. Cook until underside is set, about20 seconds more. Transfer crêpe to a plate. Make another crêpe in same manner, brushing skillet again with oil.
- Prepare filling and assemble hors d'oeuvre:
- Stir together cream cheese, lemon juice, zest, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
- Put 1 crêpe, browned side up, on a work surface, and spread with all of cheese mixture. Arrange salmon in an even layer over bottom half of crêpe (side nearest you), then scatter radishes over salmon. Beginning at bottom, tightly roll up crêpe, then cut roll crosswise into 4 pieces, trimming ends if desired.
EASY SOUR CREAM BAKED SALMON
This easy baked salmon recipe is perfect for a weekday, but could also fill in for a special occasion. The fish is smothered with a mixture of sour cream, mustard, and parmesan cheese. When baking the fish, be careful not to overcook. (There are lots of tricks above in the article for how not to overcook salmon). For moist salmon, bake until the salmon is barely done at the thickest part then remove from the oven cover with foil and let rest.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet or baking dish. (Instead of oiling the pan, you could also line with parchment paper).
- In a small bowl, combine sour cream, mustard, and the cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place salmon onto a baking sheet then spread two tablespoons of sour cream mixture on top of each salmon filet.
- Bake 10 to 15 minutes until barely done in the center at the thickest part of the salmon. The center should be firm, but with a small amount of uncooked salmon in the very center. Depending on how thick the salmon is, it may need a few minutes longer. (The internal temperature should be around 125 degrees F).
- Remove from oven then cover lightly with aluminum foil and let rest 5 to 10 minutes. During this time, the salmon will continue to cook.

BREAKFAST CREPES WITH SAVORY EGGS, SMOKED SALMON AND CAVIAR
This recipe was a product of cleaning out the fridge and being hungry. I had just catered a party and had leftover caviar, just a small spoonful, but that is all I needed; frozen crepes, eggs, herb cheese, smoked salmon and a little bechemel (white sauce) left from 2 nights ago. So that sealed the deal. This is something you can easily have done in a few minutes and serve. Make the sauce and the crepes ahead of time and then just scramble your eggs and roll the crepe. Warm up the sauce as the eggs cook and your are done. Now I know the caviar is a bit expensive, but for a special brunch a small amount goes a long way. Also, crepes are not that hard, and they freeze well. But many stores carry them pre-made in the frozen section these days. Recipe #262038 from Zaar is a simple basic crepe recipe.

Steps:
- Crepes -- I won't go through the whole recipe here, but you can use your favorite recipe or buy them pre-made. If they are frozen just, thaw in the fridge and then I reheat by simply wrapping them in a damp paper towel in the microwave for just a few seconds. Or you can wrap in foil and reheat in the oven on 325 for just 5 minutes or so. You just want them warm and plyable, not steaming hot.
- Sauce -- In a small pot, add the butter, flour and milk and whisk well until combined. Bring to medium heat and continue stirring until well combined. DON'T boil as you do not want to scald/burn the milk. Bring to a light boil stirring often. The sauce will thicken. Reduce to low and add the lemon, dill, salt and pepper. Just keep on low while you cook the eggs.
- Eggs -- In a medium non-stick sauce pan, add the butter and bring to medium heat. Add in the shallots and cook 1-2 minutes just to soften them up a bit. Then, in a medium size bowl, whisk the eggs very well and add in a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the eggs to the sauce pan with the onions, stir, and let them cook on medium low heat 3-4 minutes until slightly set and then stir. Add in the Boursin or herb cheese and stir to combine. It will take another 3-4 minutes for the cheese to melt and the eggs to finish cooking. Stir often. DON'T overcook the eggs - you want a soft scramble, as they will continue to cook once removed from the heat.
- Salmon -- Buying it in a package it should already be thin sliced and ready to use.
- Crepes -- Add 1/4 of the eggs to each warm crepe, top with smoked salmon and roll. Place 1-2 crepes per plate and top with the warm lemon dill sauce, a sprig of dill, a dollop or spoon of sour cream, and a little caviar. ENJOY!

CREPES WITH SMOKED SALMON, RICOTTA, RED ONION AND CAPERS WITH LEMON CREME FRAICHE
Steps:
- For the crepes: Combine the milk, flour, sugar, salt, eggs and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a blender and blend until smooth, about 20 seconds. Let the batter rest at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before using or transfer to a container with a lid and let rest in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
- For the lemon creme fraiche: Whisk together the creme fraiche, lemon zest and juice and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
- For the herbed ricotta and topping: Put the ricotta, chives, dill, parsley, lemon zest and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl and work together with a fork.
- Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush with some of the remaining melted butter. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of the crepe batter and swirl the skillet so the batter completely covers the bottom. Cook until the underside of the crepe is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Loosen the edge of the crepe with a rubber spatula, then with your fingertips, quickly flip. Cook 1 minute more. Slide the crepe out of the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter, coating the skillet with butter as needed. Stack the finished crepes directly on top of each other.
- Lay 8 crepes on a flat surface. Smear about 1/4 cup herbed ricotta in a wide strip down the center of each. Top with 2 or 3 slices of salmon, then gather the sides of each crepe around the filling, leaving most of the filling exposed. Scatter some onion slices and capers over the filling, then drizzle some lemon creme fraiche on top. Scatter some dill fronds on top and serve.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, add all of the crepe batter ingredients and whisk together until smooth. Expect the batter to be thinner than normal pancake batter. Refrigerate the batter for at least 30 minutes. Lightly brush a 6 inch crepe pan or small nonstick skillet with melted butter and put over medium high heat. Ladle a few tablespoons of the batter into the center of the hot pan. Lift the pan, removing it from the heat and swirl so the batter coats the bottom of the pan in an even layer that's as thin as possible. Return the pan to the heat and cook until the edges are crisp and the batter loses its shine, about 45 seconds to 1 minute. using a nonstick spatula, flip the crepe and continue cooking on the other side, another 45 seconds. If you imagine your crepe to be divided into quarters, you only want to add filling to the bottom corner in order for it to fold properly. Combine the sour cream or creme fraiche, lemon zest, lemon juice, dill, chives and capers in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Once you have all the steps complete, build your crepe and enjoy. Drizzle sauce on top. See photo at: http://www.beaugureaustudios.blogspot.ca/2013/03/ricotta-crepes-with-smoked-salmon.html

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, add all of the crepe batter ingredients and whisk together until smooth. Expect the batter to be thinner than normal pancake batter. Refrigerate the batter for at least 30 minutes.
- When ready to make the crepes, lightly brush a 6 to 8-inch crepe pan or small nonstick skillet with melted butter and put over medium-high heat.
- Ladle a few tablespoons of batter into the center of the hot pan.
- Lift the pan, removing it from the heat, and swirl so the batter coats the bottom of the pan in an even layer that's as thin as possible. If you have a few holes in the crepe, you can add a bit more batter to those bald spots to cover them. If there is excess batter in the pan, simply pour it back into the batter bowl.
- Return the pan to the heat and cook until the edges crisp and the batter loses its shine, about 45 seconds to 1 minute. Using a nonstick spatula, flip the crepe and continue cooking on the other side, another 30 to 45 seconds.
- If making crepes in advance, you can either slide the cooked crepes onto a cookie sheet and keep warm in a 200 degree F oven, or stack on a plate, putting waxed paper between each layer to prevent sticking while you continue with the remaining batter.
- When ready to serve, heat 1 crepe in a pan and add some of the filling, warming slightly. (If you imagine your crepe to be divided into quarters, you only want to add filling to the bottom corner in order to fold it properly. The crepe should be folded in half (like you would an omelet) and then again into a neat triangle (like a piece of pie). If you want more filling, crepes can be either rolled or folded in half.)
- Combine the sour cream or creme fraiche, lemon zest, lemon juice, dill, chives, and capers, in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- To serve, put a piece of smoked salmon in the bottom corner of a warmed crepe, folding in half (like you would an omelet) and then again into a neat triangle (like a piece of pie). Repeat with remaining crepes and filling. Arrange the crepes on a serving platter. Top each with a dollop of lemon-herb cream and a caper berry before serving.
Tips:
- Use a non-stick skillet or crepe pan for easy flipping.
- Make sure the batter is thin and smooth. If it's too thick, add more milk or water. If it's too thin, add more flour.
- Heat the skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the crepes will burn. If it's too low, they won't cook evenly.
- Pour a thin layer of batter into the skillet or crepe pan. Swirl the pan to evenly distribute the batter.
- Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes per side, or until it is golden brown and cooked through.
- Fill the crepes with your favorite fillings, such as smoked salmon, lemon-herb sour cream, or fruit and whipped cream.
