Smoked Salmon Rye Bread Canapé

These classic canapés formed the 'orange' layer of our rainbow of canapés at our recent party. Although smoked salmon is really quite pinky, against the orange background they looked the perfect colour! These are a staple party food in my household (it's not really a party without some smoked salmon, in my opinion!)

Ingredients
Smoked salmon (a fairly small packet will do)
Cream cheese (preferably with cracked black pepper in it)
Thinly sliced rye bread
1 lemon
Black pepper
[optional] caviar, dill

How to

1) Take a slice of rye bread - many brands sell it in big rectangular slice which are ideal. Cover it generously with cream cheese. If there isn't already pepper in it, sprinkle some on.

2) Arrange a layer of salmon over the cream cheese.

3) Squeeze over some lemon juice and add some freshly milled black pepper.

4) Cut your rectangle into bite-sized pieces - most slices can be cut into 6 or 8 canapés. Top with some lemon zest curls, a dot of caviar or some fresh dill. Serve!
