SMOKED SALMON & OLIVE TAPENADE BAGUETTE SLICES



Smoked Salmon & Olive Tapenade Baguette Slices image

This is a quick appetizer which is always a hit. It is light enough but has rich flavors to make it the perfect bite size appetizer. Now if you are really short on time ... you can actually buy some baguette slices ready to use, and also the olive tapenade which there are several good brands available these days. But make the tapenade ahead and then it takes just minutes to put these all together.

Time 30m

Yield 18-24 Appetizers, 18-24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb smoked salmon (I like to use 3-inch slices per baguette)
1 baguette (thin sliced and toasted)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small red onion (cut in quarters and then thin sliced)
3/4 cup green olives, chopped fine
3/4 cup black olives, chopped fine
1/8 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon capers
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh parsley, fine chopped
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 cup creme fraiche
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh dill, fine chopped
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Olive Tapenade -- Chop up the olives both green and black very fine and mix with the olive oil, garlic, capers (also chopped), lemon zest, parsley and pepper (no salt needed) as the olives and capers are very salty. Mix and just refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Creme Fraiche Sauce -- Mix the creme fraiche, lemon zest and juice, dill and a pinch of salt, go easy. Stir until combined and put in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Baguettes -- Now if you want, you can use slices of pumpernickle if you prefer than. You can even buy the small sandwich party breads which will work too. Personally, I like the baguettes. Just thin slice and then drizzle with olive. Place on a baking sheet (I line mine with parchment for no clean up) and then bake at 425 until golden brown. Remove and let cool.
  • Putting Them Together -- On your cooled baguettes, spread a spoon of the olive tapenade, a couple of rings of the red onion, then a slice of the smoked salmon, folding over so you have a nice size piece on each baguette. Then top with a spoon of the dilled' cream sauce.
  • Garnish -- If you want to get fancy, top with a sprig of dill, a thin lemon twist, or even a olive slice.
  • They literally take just minutes to put together and they are so tasty.

My boyfriend's mother gave me the idea for this classy appetizer that I serve for Sunday brunch and on special occasions like New Year's Eve. The textures and flavors of the dill, cream cheese and smoked salmon are scrumptious together. This dish is sure to be the toast of your buffet. -Tristin Crenshaw, Tucson, Arizona
