SMOKED SALMON SANDWICHES WITH CAPERS AND RED ONION RELISH

Steps:

• Mix red onion, sugar, and vinegar in small bowl. Let stand 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix cream cheese, chives, crème fraîche, dill, and capers in another small bowl. Spread each bread slice with about 1 tablespoon cheese mixture to cover. Divide salmon among 8 bread slices. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon red onion mixture atop salmon on each bread slice. Top each of 4 salmon-topped bread slices with another salmon-topped bread slice, salmon side up.

THE LOX OMELET

Steps:

• 1) Roughly chop or shred smoked salmon and dice red onions.
• 2) Add butter to a small omelette pan until melted over medium-high heat and then add the smoked salmon, red onions, and capers. Try to distribute the fillings evenly over the surface of the pan. Cook for about 2 minutes.
• 3) Meanwhile, whisk eggs together with milk with a fork to scramble them.
• 4) Pour eggs over the filling mixture in the pan. Turn heat down to medium and cook eggs. As the eggs cook, use a flat spatula to push the cooked eggs to the center and tilt the pan slightly to let the uncooked eggs flow to the outside.
• 5) Cook the eggs until they are almost all the way cooked. There will be a very thin layer of uncooked egg on the top and that's fine.
• 6) Add cream cheese to one half of the omelette and use a spatula to fold the egg over to form an omelette.
• 7) Cook omelet for another 30-45 seconds on each side to melt the cheese and finish cooking the eggs.
• 8) Serve omelette with fresh dill.
