🥄 Smoked Salmon Spoons (Crowd-Pleaser Recipe)

This recipe is fast, no-cook, and focuses on fresh, contrasting flavors.

🛒 Ingredients

Category	Item	Quantity	Notes
Base	Serving Spoons, Wonton Crisps, or sturdy Crackers	20–24	Must be strong enough to hold the filling.
Cream	Cream Cheese (full fat, softened)	8 oz (225g)
Cream	Fresh Dill, finely chopped	2 Tbsp	Essential for flavor.
Cream	Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed)	1 Tbsp	For brightness and balance.
Cream	Chives, finely chopped	1 Tbsp	For color and light onion flavor.
Topping	Smoked Salmon, thinly sliced	6–8 oz (170–225g)	Cut into small ribbons or bite-sized pieces.
Garnish	Capers or Red Onion (finely minced)	Optional	For salty, sharp contrast.

👩‍🍳 Instructions (15 Minutes Assembly)

1. Prepare the Dill Cream (5 minutes)

1. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, fresh dill, chives, and lemon juice.
2. Use a fork or hand mixer to blend until the mixture is light, fluffy, and completely smooth.
3. Season with a pinch of black pepper (salt is usually unnecessary as the salmon and capers are salty).

2. Prepare the Salmon (3 minutes)

1. Lay the smoked salmon slices flat. Cut them into small, manageable pieces or elegant ribbons, suitable for folding onto the spoon.

3. Assemble the Spoons (7 minutes)

1. Spoon the Base: Place a generous dollop of the Dill Cream Cheese onto each cracker or serving spoon.
2. Add Salmon: Gently fold or curl a ribbon of smoked salmon and place it neatly on top of the cream cheese.
3. Garnish: Finish each spoon with a sprinkle of capers or a tiny piece of minced red onion for the classic salty and sharp burst of flavor.

✨ Presentation Tip

If using actual serving spoons, chill the assembled spoons for 15 minutes before serving. The cold utensil enhances the refreshing flavor of the seafood.
