Lemon Caper Butter And Smoked Salmon Tea Sandwiches Recipes

SMOKED SALMON TEA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the butter, chives, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
• Lay out the bread slices; spread with prepared butter mixture. Top half the slices with the smoked salmon. Lay remaining slices, buttered-side down, on top of the salmon. Place sandwiches on a baking sheet, cover with plastic, and place in refrigerator until the butter is cold, about 30 minutes.
• Transfer sandwiches to a cutting board. Trim crusts from sandwiches, and cut in half to form thin rectangles. Serve chilled.

SMOKED SALMON TEA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• For the herb butter, combine all the butter ingredients in a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat until mixed, but do not whip.
• For the sandwiches, have the store slice the bread lengthwise on a meat slicer into 1/4-inch-thick slices. (If that isn't possible, you can slice it crosswise with a very sharp knife.)
• Lay out 8 slices of bread and spread them all with a thin layer of herb butter. Place smoked salmon on 4 of the slices. Top with the other 4 slices of bread, butter side down. Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and wrap with plastic. Refrigerate until the butter is very cold. Place the sandwiches on a cutting board. With a very sharp knife, cut off the crusts, cut each large sandwich in half crosswise, and then cut each half diagonally twice to make a total of 8 small triangles. (If the bread was cut crosswise, follow the assembly directions, then cut off the crusts and cut diagonally, twice, to make 4 small triangles.) Serve chilled.

LEMON CAPER BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Crush capers in a small bowl with the back of a spoon.
• Melt 1/2 teaspoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until the butter foams and is golden; saute capers until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add lemon juice, bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring frequently, until liquid is reduced by one-third, 1 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
• Stir cold butter and savory into lemon mixture, stirring constantly until butter is completely melted and sauce is shiny and thick, about 1 minute.

BAKED SALMON WITH LEMON CAPER BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick spray.
• Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. (Note: I don't like the bones so I remove them. Some use needle-nose pliers, I used my finger nails but it did take me a little while). Sprinkle fillets with kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper. Place 2 lemon slices on top of each fillet. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove and tent with aluminum foil for 10 more minutes. Fish will continue to cook during this time. It will flake easily when done.
• While salmon is cooking, in a small sauce pan, melt butter over medium heat. Once butter has melted add garlic, capers, lemon zest and lemon juice. Cook for 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Remove lemon slices and discard. Gently slide a turner or serving spatula between the skin and the flesh of the fillet to remove the skin, it should separate very easily. Transfer fillet to a serving platter and spoon lemon caper butter over the top. Serve.

HERBED BUTTER AND SMOKED SALMON SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, fold together the butter, herbs, capers and lemon zest. Spread the butter onto each slice of bread. Top half of the slices with salmon, followed by an even layer of sliced radishes. Drizzle lemon juice over radishes and sprinkle lightly with salt. Form into sandwiches with remaining bread slices. Trim off the crusts and cut sandwiches into quarters, or use cookie cutters. Serve immediately or cover with a tea towel until ready to serve.

LEMON-CAPER BUTTER AND SMOKED SALMON TEA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, combine butter, lemon juice, zest, capers, and salt. Pulse until combined and most of the capers are broken up, about 15 seconds.
• Spread a thin layer of caper butter on two slices of bread. Cover one slice with a layer each of salmon and dill sprigs, and top with other bread slice. Use a serrated knife to trim crusts and cut in half diagonally into two triangles. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Cover with damp papers towel until ready to serve.

SMOKED SALMON WITH CAPERS, RED ONIONS AND LEMON FAST2EAT

Steps:

• Scald the thinly sliced onion twice. Just throw boiled water on it, drain, rinse with cold water, drain and repeat the process. Or leave the sliced onion soaked in salt ice water for at least 30 minutes. This will give it a smoother flavour and reduces their bitterness and pungency.
• Be sure to get high quality, sliced smoked salmon.
• Artfully arrange the smoked salmon slices along on a large serving platter.
• Spread the red onion slices over the smoked salmon slices.
• Scatter the capers over the top of the platter.
• If using, place a small bunch of dill at the top and sprinkle with the pepper.
• Arrange the lemon slices around the platter.
• Serve salmon platter with crackers and/or bread.

SMOKED SALMON AND AVOCADO WITH LEMON CAPER BUTTER ON PUMPERNICKEL BREAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl cream together the butter, the lemon juice, the capers, and salt and pepper to taste and spread the lemon caper butter on one side of each slice of bread. Layer half the bread slices with the salmon, the onion, the avocado, and the sprouts and top the sandwiches with the remaining bread slices, pressing them firmly.
