This Salmon Goat’s Cheese and Cucumber Canapé Is From Cook And Share Cookbook by Mary Berry
Ingredients Needed
- ¼ cucumber
- 120g (4¼oz) smoked salmon (cocktail slices preferred)
- 75g (3oz) soft goat’s cheese (from a tub)
- ½ bunch dill, chopped
- ½ lemon
How To Make Salmon Goat’s Cheese and Cucumber Canapé
- Prepare the cucumber: Cut the cucumber in half lengthways, scoop out the seeds with a teaspoon, then slice lengthways into matchsticks about 4cm (1½in) long.
- Prepare the smoked salmon: Place the salmon slices on a board and trim them to roughly 8 × 3cm (3¼ × 1¼in). Spread each slice with a little goat’s cheese and season with freshly ground black pepper.
- Add dill and cucumber: Sprinkle chopped dill over one narrow end of each salmon slice, then place two matchsticks of cucumber on top.
- Roll the canapés: Roll each salmon slice into a cigar shape and arrange neatly on a small platter.
- Finish with lemon and pepper: Just before serving, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the canapés and sprinkle with a little black pepper.
Recipe Tips
- Use Fresh Salmon: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, high-quality smoked salmon. Avoid pre-packaged slices that may be dry or too salty.
- Chill the Canapés: If making ahead, refrigerate the canapés for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps the goat’s cheese firm up and makes the canapés easier to handle.
- Slice the Cucumber Thinly: Slice the cucumber into small, thin matchsticks to avoid overwhelming the other flavors and ensure they roll neatly inside the salmon.
- Add a Lemon Zest Twist: For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a little lemon zest along with the lemon juice for a brighter taste.
- Customize the Filling: Experiment with different herbs, like chives or parsley, to personalize the flavor or make the canapés more colorful.
