Ingredients
1 English cucumber, sliced into 36 thin rounds (about 1/8 inch thick)
8 ounces smoked salmon, thinly sliced
1/2 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Sea salt to taste
Lemon zest for garnish
Fresh dill sprigs for garnish
Directions
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the English cucumber into approximately 36 thin rounds of uniform thickness, about 1/8 inch each. Pat the cucumber slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the crème fraîche, fresh lemon juice, chopped dill, black pepper, and a pinch of sea salt until well combined and smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Arrange the cucumber rounds on a serving platter or board in rows or concentric circles.
Spoon or pipe approximately 1 teaspoon of the dill crème fraîche mixture onto each cucumber round, spreading gently and evenly.
Top each crostini with a small piece or fold of smoked salmon, arranging it attractively over the crème fraîche.
Garnish the platter with fresh dill sprigs and a light dusting of lemon zest. Serve immediately.
