Halloween Smoked Salmon Eye Canapes
Description
This recipe uses eight slices of smoked salmon shaped into small pieces and cream cheese formed into small balls about one inch in size as a creamy base. Each cream cheese ball is wrapped gently with smoked salmon to create an 'eye' shape. Slices of pimento-stuffed olives are used as the pupils, placed in the center of each canape.
Fresh dill sprigs or small pieces are added as decorative veins on the smoked salmon, enhancing the eye-like appearance and adding herbal notes. The canapes are served immediately or can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a day before serving, with leftover canapes kept in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days to maintain freshness.
