Smoked Salmon & Caviar Blinis
Blini with smoked salmon and caviar is one of our favorite party foods. It doesn’t matter whether you use the most inexpensive caviar or roe or something more luxurious: The outcome is delicious, special and fun.
For variety, half of the blinis are topped with smoked salmon, the other half with caviar. This recipe yields 16 pieces for hors d’oeuvre or amuse bouche; or one piece of each as a first course for eight people.
Ingredients
- 5 ounces sliced smoked salmon
- 5 ounces sour cream, crème fraîche or plain Greek yogurt
- 1 lemon
- 16 store-bought blinis
(Look for them in specialty stores, especially those that sell fine smoked salmon; or buy them online)
- 2 ounces caviar
- Fresh dill

If it’s in your budget, there’s no reason why you can’t combine the smoked salmon and caviar onto one blini. You just need twice as much smoked salmon and caviar.
