FAQ – EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE COOKING

What goes on smoked salmon blinis?

Smoked salmon blinis are usually topped with a layer of cream cheese or lemon-herb crème fraîche, a slice of smoked salmon, and fresh garnishes like dill, chives, or capers. A squeeze of lemon or a touch of cracked pepper adds extra brightness.

How far ahead can you make smoked salmon blinis

You can prepare the blinis up to 24 hours in advance and store them chilled. Add the smoked salmon and toppings just before serving so the blinis stay soft and fresh.

What sauce goes well with smoked salmon blinis?

The best sauces for smoked salmon blinis are lemon-dill crème fraîche, herbed yogurt sauce, or a light horseradish cream. These add freshness without overpowering the salmon.

Should blinis be served warm or cold with smoked salmon?

Blinis can be served warm or room temperature with smoked salmon. Slightly warm blinis are ideal because they stay soft and contrast nicely with the cool salmon.

What is the best cheese to pair with smoked salmon blinis?

Cream cheese, mascarpone, and whipped herb cheese are the best options. Their mild flavour complements the richness of the smoked salmon without overwhelming it.
