Elegant Smoked Salmon Cucumber Canapés are a refreshing and simple appetizer perfect for any holiday gathering or special occasion. These bite-sized treats combine crisp cucumber with creamy cheese and savory smoked salmon for a delightful flavor combination.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large cucumber
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped, plus more for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 ounces smoked salmon, thinly sliced
  • Fresh dill sprigs for garnish (optional)
  • Capers for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and trim the ends of the cucumber. Slice the cucumber into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped dill, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined and smooth.
  3. Season the cream cheese mixture with salt and pepper to your liking.
  4. Spoon or pipe a dollop of the cream cheese mixture onto each cucumber slice.
  5. Top each cream cheese-covered cucumber slice with a piece of smoked salmon.
  6. Garnish with a small sprig of fresh dill or a few capers, if desired.
  7. Arrange the canapés on a serving platter and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, use a dairy-free cream cheese alternative.
  • You can prepare the cucumber slices and cream cheese mixture a few hours in advance and store them separately in the refrigerator. Assemble just before serving to prevent the cucumber from becoming soggy.
  • Experiment with adding a pinch of garlic powder or a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the cream cheese mixture for extra flavor.
