Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 3 oz Smoked Salmon high-quality, wild-caught if available
  • 2 tablespoons Garlic and Herb Cream Cheese like Boursin
  • 2 teaspoons Red Onion finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons Chives finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest fresh
  • Freshly Cracked Black Pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Small Knife
  • Zester or Grater
  • Serving Spoons

Method
 

Directions
  1. Gather all your ingredients. Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easy mixing. Finely chop the red onion and chives, and zest the lemon.
  2. In a mixing bowl, add the garlic and herb cream cheese. Mix in the finely chopped red onion, chives, and lemon zest until well combined.
  3. Take your serving spoons and place a dollop of the cream cheese mixture at the bottom of each spoon. Gently press it down to create a small base.
  4. Cut the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces or strips. Place a piece on top of the cream cheese in each spoon, allowing it to drape slightly for an elegant look.
  5. Finish each spoon by sprinkling a touch of freshly cracked black pepper on top. Arrange the spoons on a serving platter and garnish with additional chives or lemon slices if desired. Serve immediately!

Notes

  • Use high-quality smoked salmon for the best flavor.
  • Assemble the spoons just before serving to maintain freshness.
  • Store leftover components separately for optimal freshness.
