Smoked Salmon on Toast or Jicama Hearts
- 12 "very thin" slices of sandwich bread or jicama
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 12 thin slices smoked salmon
- 1 tablespoon finely snipped dill leaves
- 1 tablespoon chive "batons" (chives cut into 2-inch lengths)
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- With a biscuit cutter or heart shaped cutter, cut out heart shapes (can be done in advance).
- Brush melted butter on both sides of the bread and set them on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until toasts are golden brown; remove and set aside until later.
- (Or, for low cal alternative, cut wide thin slices of jicama, then cut out heart shapes from those - can be done in advance, and kept in dampened cloth in the refrigerator.)
- Combine olive oil and lime juice and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Set two "heart" shaped toast points or jicama slices in middle of a dinner plate.
- Heart points should meet in center and overlap each other slightly.
- Roll up or drape a slice of smoked salmon in the middle of each heart and brush with olive oil and rice vinegar dressing.
- For a professional looking presentation, scatter dill and chives over everything; including the plate.
- At last minute, coarsely grind fresh pepper over the top.
