    If you're looking for an elegant and tasty yet easy to make appetizer for your next dinner or holiday party, Smoked Salmon Crostini is always a favorite!

    I adore salmon. In fact, I hadn't realized how many salmon recipes I actually had on my own blog until I did a quick search. I suppose living in Portland, Oregon, has spoiled me. I also love little appetizers that can be enjoyed in two attractive bites or shoved entirely in my mouth when no one is looking. I love these little crostinis because they really couldn't be easier to make, but they're just so darn pretty! Doesn't garnish make everything better?

    I modeled this recipe after my smoked salmon dip which is the food equivalent to crack, in my opinion. Seriously, don't put that stuff in front of me because I will shock and awe everyone around me when they see how much salmon dip I can consume.

    Similar to my dip, this recipe has cream cheese, fresh dill, a little kick from fresh jalapeno, and lemon juice. If you're eating salmon, you must have lemon and dill. That's just a fact. Don't even try arguing with me. I also do love me some capers with fish. All the flavors blend together oh-so-perfectly.

    Aren't they pretty? Now imagine yourself walking around your holiday party passing these out. I guarantee your guests will be fighting over them.

    Wanna know a secret?  As soon as I finished photographing these, I ate every single last one of them. Not ashamed. Not one bit. In fact, its been a few hours since I devoured them and I'm starting to crave more. That's how wonderful they are.

        You can, but you will just have to stir it really well as the jalapenos might release a bit of moisture. If you can hold off on adding the fresh dill until you're ready to serve, that would be best. Krissy

      I added chipotle chili powder and cayenne and there wasn't much heat in the salmon, but it was a huge hit!
