Smoked Salmon Dill and Capers Appetizer

Read...

Quite a while back, I did a post on Bourbon Maple Glazed Carrots and included a few photos of this smoked salmon dill and capers appetizer.  I never did a follow up post on just the appetizer and I think it deserves it’s own day in the sun.  It is so good and so easy.  It’s a real elegant looking appetizer too, one that deserves a party. I saw a nice package of smoked salmon on sale so I fixed MaryJo and me this great smoked salmon dill and capers appetizer that turned into half of our dinner.  The salmon I used was Ducktrap, Scottish style Spruce Point, cold smoked Atlantic salmon.





If you are big into different appetizers, my mini Crab Cake Appetizers are something you’d like to try.
