Savory Smoked Salmon Appetizer Food

SAVORY SMOKED SALMON APPETIZER

Steps:

• Heat oil in saute pan, then add butter to melt. Saute onions and mushrooms until nearly all liquid has evaporated. Away from heat, add port. Return to medium high heat and continue sauteing until liquid has nearly evaported. Set aside.
• In large bowl, break up smoked salmon into small uniform pieces. Mix together sour cream & cream cheese until smooth, then add to salmon. Add remaining ingredients along with onion-mushroom mixture, blend well.
• Spread mixture into lightly oiled baking dish (I use a 10" round ceramic bake & serve) and bake at 375 degrees for approximately 25-30 minutes, until bubbly and light golden in color.
• I serve this warm or at room temperature with thin baguette slices which have been spread lightly with garlic-infused olive oil then toasted & sprinkled with just a bit of kosher salt!

CHEESY SMOKED SALMON APPETIZERS

Steps:

• Lay a sheet of good quality baking paper or a double layer of aluminum foil on your bench top. Spread the salmon onto the paper to form a large square shape. Overlap each slice- there should be no gaps and you must be able to roll the salmon later and have the slices hold together.
• In a bowl mix all remaining ingredients. Spread this mixture over the salmon.
• Using the paper or foil. Roll the salmon. The cream cheese will end up in the centre of the salmon rolls. Refrigerate until required.
• Slice into approx one inch rolls (they'll look like small sushis). Sprinkle with extra finely chopped chives, or parsley.
