salmon tartare spread

Salmon

A creamy salmon spread inspired by tartare, with capers, lemon, and herbs—perfect on crostini or cucumber slices.

1/4 cup capers, packed in brine and drained
8 ounces good-quality smoked salmon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/4 cup finely diced red onion

Pulse capers, until coarsely chopped, in a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Add salmon, dill, oil and lemon zest; pulse until salmon is finely chopped and well-mixed. Stir in red onion. Serve with kettle-style potato chips, sesame crackers or toasts. If you assemble the hors d'oeuvres (rather than letting guests make their own), top each tartare-covered toast or chip with a thin slice of lemon, rind and all.
