Best 4 Smoked Salmon Tart Recipes

SMOKED SALMON AND HERB PUFF PASTRY TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F with a rack in the center. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Lightly flour a work surface and gently unfold the puff pastry dough. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a 10-by-12-inch rectangle. Score a 1-inch border along all four sides with a sharp knife then prick the area inside the border all over with a fork. This allows steam to release and a rim to rise around the tart.
• Transfer the puff pastry to the prepared baking sheet and bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until golden brown and puffy, about 18 minutes total. Remove the pastry from the baking sheet and allow it to cool on a cutting board or wire rack for 10 minutes. (see Cook's Note)
• While the pastry is baking, whip the cream cheese, yogurt, lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Fold in the capers, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons chopped dill and 2 tablespoons chopped chives and set aside.
• Just before serving, evenly spread the cream cheese filling over the baked pastry with an offset spatula, leaving the 1-inch border exposed. Arrange the smoked salmon and cucumber on top and sprinkle the tart with the dill fronds, remaining 1 tablespoon chives and some black pepper.

SMOKED SALMON TART FOR A CROWD

Steps:

• Make the pastry: Put flour, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse briefly, then add butter all at once and whir until mixture resembles wet sand. Add egg and continue just until dough comes together. (Alternatively, cut butter into dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix by hand.) Knead dough lightly on counter-top, then divide into four pieces and form each into a ball. Wrap with plastic film and flatten to 1-inch-thick disks. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Make the horseradish cream: Mix together crème fraîche, horseradish, mustard and lemon zest. Season generously with salt and pepper, then keep cool. (If cream firms upon standing, beat with a fork.)
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Put onion in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add olive oil and mix to coat. Roll out each piece of dough to an 8-inch-diameter circle. Place the pastry disks on parchment-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle onion slices over each round.
• Bake tart rounds for 6 to 7 minutes, until pastry is lightly browned and puffed, and onions are starting to brown. (Turn pans halfway through for even browning.) Let cool for a minute or two.
• Put pastry on a cutting board. Cut into 6 or 8 wedges. Spoon some horseradish cream onto each wedge. Tear salmon slices into wide ribbons and lay them over the cream. (Use 1 ounce salmon per tart.) Top each wedge with a tiny spoonful of roe, if using, and sprinkle with chives and tarragon. Serve directly from the board.

SMOKED SALMON, ARUGULA AND GOAT CHEESE TART RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Liberally butter a 9-inch tart pan with a removable base. For the crust: In a food processor, combine the flours, parsley, thyme and 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture forms a coarse meal. With the motor running, gradually add the ice water and process until the mixture forms a ball. Form the dough into a disc and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 20 minutes. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough into a 10-inch round. Place the dough in the prepared pan and trim any excess dough from the top of the pan. Using a fork, prick the dough all over and bake for 12 minutes. Let the crust cool for 15 minutes. For the filling: In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the leeks and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the arugula and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Spoon the leek mixture over the crust. Sprinkle the goat cheese and smoked salmon on top. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper until frothy. Pour the egg mixture over the filling. Place the tart pan on a baking sheet and bake until the filling has set and the cheese begins to brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes, then remove the sides and base of the tart pan. Cut the tart into wedges. Serve warm or chilled.
