Cold-smoked salmon is one of my favorite brunch foods. For an even fancier presentation, I decided to add a few ingredients and turn it into a tartare to serve atop crackers or crostini. Your guests will love this any time of day!
Ingredients:
6 ounces cold-smoked salmon, finely chopped
2 teaspoons minced shallot
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons dill pickle brine (juice)
16 crackers
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons minced fresh chives
fresh cracked black pepper to taste
Directions:
Combine salmon, shallot, olive oil, and brine in a bowl. Toss with a spoon until evenly combined.
Evenly distribute salmon mixture onto crackers. Top with lemon zest, chives, and cracked black pepper.
