Smoked salmon has been endlessly married with cream cheese, and we’re not tired of it. In fact, we encourage it full-on. Whether it’s smoked salmon dip or in a pasta, there is no denying the perfection of this combo. So, for a quick hors d’oeuvre, like this salmon crostini, we couldn’t shy away from it.

This is your new addition to your essential brunch or tea party playlist (if you’re not having tea parties, are you even living?). It’s a way to have people over and actually not stress about the food and the looks of it. The smoked salmon does all the work by looking fabulous and sophisticated.

When choosing your smoked salmon, you may see a lot of options in the supermarket. Don’t be intimidated! Just choose a smoked salmon that says “Nova,” which is the standard for New York smoked salmon culture. If you’re more to the West, then you can go with a Pacific smoked salmon as well! Always choose something that will also agree with your budget at the moment. You do not need imported Scottish smoked salmon to enjoy these little baskets of joy.
