Ingredients
- 4thin slices black or dark pumpernickel bread, crusts removed and cut into triangles
- 5tablespoons crème fraîche
- 1tablespoon horseradish, plus more to taste
- 1tablespoon thinly sliced chives
- Sea salt to taste
- ¼pound thinly sliced smoked salmon
- Coarsely ground black pepper
Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the bread pieces on a baking sheet and bake until lightly toasted but still soft in the center. Meanwhile, whisk together the crème fraîche, 1 tablespoon horseradish and chives in a small bowl. Add more horseradish and salt to taste. Cut the salmon into strips (2 inches by 1 inch) or squares, so that you have the same number as triangles of bread.
- Step 2
Place toasts on a serving platter. Spoon a little horseradish cream on each piece. Lay a piece of salmon on top in delicate folds. Sprinkle pepper over the salmon and serve.

Capers and dill as add ons are nice with this.
Be sure to use good-quality fresh jar of horseradish and drain before adding to cream. I doubled the horseradish to get sufficient zip. Garnish top of salmon with a couple of 1” lengths of chive.
