This creamy and savoury appetizer will become a crowd favourite.
Ingredients
2 packs sesame honey snaps
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
1 fillet smoked salmon (interleaf)
250 gm cream cheese (softened)
1/4 cup goat cheese
2 lemon zest
4 tablespoons chives
1/3 cup pecans, roasted and chopped
1 tablespoon shallots, diced
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
Directions
Place the sesame snaps and seeds into a mini food chopper and blitz to a coarse, crunchy texture. Place a long plastic wrap (18 inches) on the counter. Sprinkle the sesame snap mixture in a two-inch wide ribbon down the centre of the plastic wrap about three inches from the edge of the wrap.
Layer the smoked salmon lox over the crunch, overlapping the edges slightly to ensure full cheese coverage.
Mix the cheeses, lemon zest, chives and pecans in a bowl. Form into a long log and place the smoked salmon lox on top. Using the short side of the plastic wrap as a guide, fold the plastic wrap over the salmon and roll it tightly. Wrap in plastic wrap and rest in the fridge for at least 2 hours up to overnight.
Combine all of the vinaigrette ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
Slice the salmon into disks and drizzle with dressing. Serve cold. Enjoy!
