Smoked Salmon, Fromage Blanc and Caper Spread image

One selling point of smoked salmon is that you don't need to do much to it to get it on the table - but take it a step further and break out of the canape cliché. Here, you'll whip it up in the food processor with fennel and cream cheese for a light spread. Serve it with baguette slices. It's a quarter-hour of work for a savory, guest-friendly appetizer.

I'm not usually a fan of fish, but this spread changed my mind. The smokiness of the salmon paired perfectly with the creaminess of the fromage blanc and the brininess of the capers.
