Yield Makes 48 canapés

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/4 pound marinated herring, rinsed, drained, and cut into 16 pieces
1/2 red onion, sliced thin
3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
For the lemon-chive butter
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
3 tablespoons sour cream
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
16 slices of rye bread
2 ounces smoked salmon, chopped fine
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
1 ounce black caviar
For the garnish
fresh parsley leaves
thin crosswise slices of orange sections
fresh chives
1/2-inch-long fine julienne of orange zest

Steps:

  • In a small bowl combine well the herring, the onion, the orange juice, and pepper to taste and let the herring marinate, covered and chilled, for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  • Make the lemon-chive butter:
  • In a bowl with an electric mixer cream the butter and beat in the sour cream and the lemon juice gradually. Beat the mixture until it is light and smooth and beat in the chives and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Toast the bread until it is just pale golden, cut out 3 decorative shapes from each piece, and spread one side of each shape with some of the lemon-chive butter. In a small bowl toss together the salmon and the red onion and divide the mixture among 16 of the toasts. Drain the herring, discarding the onion, and divide it among 16 of the toasts. Divide the caviar among the remaining 16 toasts. Garnish the salmon canapés with the parsley leaves, garnish the herring canapés with the orange slices, the chives, and the zest, and arrange the canapés on a platter. The canapés may be prepared 1 hour in advance and kept covered and chilled.

These canapes were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would have preferred less salt in the lemon-chive butter.

I followed the recipe but my canapes didn't turn out as good as I expected. I think I may have overcooked the seafood.

These canapes were a bit too fishy for my taste. I think I would have preferred a different type of seafood.

Delicious! I love the contrast between the crispy bread and the creamy seafood salad.
