Smoked Salmon Carpaccio with Crispy Capers Recipe

Instantly elevate your next happy hour with a delicious spread featuring Smoked Salmon Carpaccio with Crispy Capers and fresh herbs to top. This simple appetizer features everything you love about smoked salmon but with added ingredients that make it irresistibly delicious. Perfect for serving at your next outdoor cocktail party or even as a starter to kick off a date night at home, this Smoked Salmon Carpaccio will become your new go-to appetizer.  

Originating in Italy, carpaccio typically involves preparing thinly sliced beef but over the years it has evolved to include most raw meats including fish. For this recipe, the preparation includes lightly marinating the fish in citrus and olive oil. This step allows for the salmon to absorb the flavors and creates a savory companion to the lightly fried capers. Serve with toasted crostini, crackers, or any favorite toasted bread.  


 

A Few Key Ingredients:

  • Smoked Salmon – Choose your favorite here - we like to get ours from our local deli.  
  • Capers – You can keep these as-is, but fried adds that perfect crunch!  
  • Lemon – A citrusy note that enhances the delicious smoked salmon flavors.

      • Crostini for serving

      • 2 tablespoons drained capers  
      • 1 teaspoon cassava flour or all-purpose flour

      blank

      • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil  
      • 1 clove minced garlic  
      • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice  
      • 1 teaspoon grainy dijon mustard  
      • 1 small shallot halved lengthwise and thinly sliced into half moons

      Instructions

      1. In a bowl, combine all the dressing ingredients and whisk until well combined. Set aside while you prepare the capers.

      2. In a small bowl, toss the drained capers in the cassava flour until evenly coated.

      3. Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat with olive oil.

      5. Cut the smoked salmon into 2-inch pieces and arrange on a large plate in a single layer.

      6. Spoon the dressing over the salmon evenly.

      7. Next, top with the crispy capers. Finish the dish with fresh dill and cracked pepper. Serve alongside toasted crostini.
