Ingredients

  • 4 Slices of wholemeal/granary bread From 800g loaf
  • 50 g Salted butter
  • 100 g Smoked salmon
  • 150 ml Crème fraîche
  • 1 tsp Horseradish sauce See notes
  • Fresh dill
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Butter the bread, remove the crusts and cut into small squares (I do 4 per slice).
  • Cut the smoked salmon into strips and sit on top of each one.
  • Mix the crème fraîche with horseradish sauce (taste and add more if needed).
  • When you're ready to serve, dollop the sauce on and top with fresh dill and black pepper.

Notes

Smoked salmon: You can buy any that you prefer or your budget allows. Offcuts is ok. You can also buy ahead when it’s on special offer and freeze. Allow to defrost in the fridge before making the canapés
Bread: If your bread is smaller than a 800g loaf you may need to use more slices. You can also choose another type, such as rye or sourdough if you prefer
Horseradish: Mix this with the creme fraiche according to your taste. I start with a teaspoon and add more if needed
Crème fraîche: Half fat or full fat is fine
How to make these ahead of time: Make them up to 2 hours before you want to serve them, minus the sauce. You can make the sauce the night before and refrigerate to save more time.
