Smoked Salmon Crostini Recipe

These simple and bright salmon crostini are sure to impress at any breakfast, brunch, or holiday celebration. Fresh herbs, ricotta cheese, lemon juice, and smoked salmon shine beautifully in this dish. Gone are the days of having to make complicated appetizers for an event. Instead, this recipe only takes a few ingredients to make a beautiful appetizer. Fresh herbs are a must for this recipe. Make sure to wash them thoroughly and finely chop them with a sharp knife. Don't chop them too far ahead of time to prevent them from browning. If you can find the fina-style ricotta cheese make sure to use it. It has the best texture and blends nicely with the herbs and smoked salmon. If you can't find that style it will definitely still work very well with regular ricotta cheese. Try to find a fresh or local brand for the best flavor. If you can find wild-caught smoked salmon, that will also provide the best flavor, texture, and color for this dish. Specialty fish shops and grocery stores that specialize in wild-caught and natural fish will have this option in the packaged fish section. You can also buy the smoked salmon at delis that special in bagels and lox.
