Smoked Salmon Mousse On Rye Toasts
- About 6 slices thin rye bread
- 1/2 pound smoked salmon, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup whipped cream cheese
- 1/3 cup creme fraiche (surprise!) or sour cream
- 4 teaspoons grated onion, with the juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon finely zested lemon zest
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Salt
- Heat your oven to 325 degrees. Cut the bread into small triangles or squares and arrange on a baking sheet (you should have about 24 pieces). Bake until crisp, turning once, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Combine salmon, cream cheese, creme fraiche or sour cream, grated onion, lemon juice and zest, and black pepper, to taste, in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse to combine, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice. Taste and season with salt and more black pepper if necessary.
- If you feel like being fancy, spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a 1/4-inch star tip and pipe a generous rosette onto each toast. Or just spread a little bit of the mousse on the toasts. Serve immediately.
- *The salmon mousse may be prepared and refrigerated up to 24 hours ahead. Leave it at room temperature for about 20 minutes before piping/spooning onto the toasts.
