Cucumber Bites with Dill Cream and Smoked Salmon

Seafood

These elegant smoked salmon appetizer bites are made with cucumber slices topped with herby cream cheese, smoked salmon strips, fresh dill, and a bit of lemon to perk things up.

Ingredients

24 slices cucumber, each about ¾-inch thick
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 teaspoon lemon zest
½ teaspoon fresh lemon juice
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 ounces smoked salmon, cut into 2-inch strips
24 small fresh dill sprigs

Description

Form a cup in each cucumber slice by using a melon baller to scoop a 1/2-inch-deep depression from one side. Place cucumbers, scooped-sides down, onto paper towels to drain for 15 minutes.
Mix cream cheese, chopped dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, and pepper in a bowl until well combined.
Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon cheese mixture into each cucumber cup. Top each cup with a salmon strip and a dill sprig.
