Smoked salmon tartines with red onion-caper relish

INGREDIENTS:

● 2/3 cup finely diced red onion ● 1/3 cup drained Coles Brand Baby Capers

● 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice ● 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill ● 1 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds

Tartines

● 250g cream cheese, at room temperature

● 1/3 cup creme fraiche or sour cream

● 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives ● 8 slices pumpernickel bread, toasted

● 16 thin slices from 1 Coles rustic baguette, toasted

● 450g thinly sliced smoked salmon

● 1 lemon

METHOD: Step 1

To make the relish: In a small bowl, stir the onion, capers, lemon juice, dill, and mustard seeds. Season to taste with salt.

Step 2

To make the tartines: In another small bowl, mix the cream cheese, creme fraiche, and chives to blend. Season to taste with salt.

Step 3

Spread the cheese mixture over the toasted slices of pumpernickel and baguette. Cut each slice of the pumpernickel bread into 3 rectangular pieces. Top each with 1 salmon slice, and then top each with a generous spoonful of the relish. Transfer the tartines to a platter. Finely grate the lemon peel over each and serve.
