Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 115 grams / 4 ounces Smoked salmon
- 1 large English cucumber
- 170 grams / 6 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
Dairy and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 60 milliliters / ¼ cup Full-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped, plus extra for garnish)
- ¼ teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
- In a compact mixing vessel, thoroughly blend the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and garlic powder until smooth and uniform in texture.
- Gently fold in the finely chopped fresh dill, ensuring even distribution throughout the creamy mixture.
- Select a piping bag or a zip-lock bag, carefully transferring the prepared cream cheese blend into the chosen container.
- If using a zip-lock bag, delicately snip off one corner to create a small opening for piping.
- Arrange fresh cucumber slices in a precise, single layer across a decorative serving platter.
- Using steady, controlled pressure, pipe approximately of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each cucumber round.
- Delicately drape a small, elegantly folded piece of smoked salmon atop each cream-topped cucumber slice.
- For an additional burst of herbaceous flavor, sprinkle extra finely chopped fresh dill over the prepared appetizer bites.
- Present the cucumber salmon canapés immediately to ensure optimal freshness and texture, serving at cool room temperature.
Notes
- Select crisp, vibrant cucumbers that feel firm when gently squeezed, ensuring maximum texture and flavor for your appetizer.
- Warm cream cheese slightly at room temperature to achieve a silky, spreadable consistency that pipes beautifully into cucumber rounds.
- Gently blot cucumber slices with clean paper towels, removing excess moisture to prevent soggy or sliding filling.
- Slice salmon into delicate, bite-sized pieces that fold neatly and create an elegant presentation for your guests.
- Refrigerate cucumber bites for a short chill time, allowing flavors to meld and providing a refreshing, cool appetizer experience.
