Description
Smoked Salmon Blini Bites are a classic party appetizer with a soft mini pancake base, creamy topping, and delicate smoked salmon. Each bite feels elegant, light, and balanced with dill and lemon.
Ingredients
20 mini blinis
4 ounces smoked salmon, cut into small strips
1/2 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon capers, drained
Fresh dill sprigs for garnish
Black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Add the crème fraîche, dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, and black pepper to a small bowl.
2. Mix until smooth.
3. Place the blinis on a serving tray.
4. Spoon a small amount of the crème fraîche mixture onto each blini.
5. Top each one with a folded piece of smoked salmon.
6. Add a few capers on top or beside the salmon.
7. Garnish with a small dill sprig.
8. Serve chilled or at cool room temperature.
Notes
Use ready-made cocktail blinis to save time.
Assemble the blinis shortly before serving so they stay soft but not soggy.
A small squeeze of lemon over the platter adds fresh flavor right before serving.
