If you’re after a quick and elegant appetiser, these Mini Smoked Salmon Pikelets are such a winner. I made them recently when visiting friends, it’s that time of year where we’re all bringing a plate and they were a huge hit.
They look impressive, taste delicious, and are incredibly simple to prepare. I used pre-made pikelets to save time, but you can certainly make your own if you prefer. The creamy, herby topping paired with salty smoked salmon and a hint of lemon makes every bite light, fresh, and moreish.
These are perfect for entertaining, especially during the festive season, or even as a simple starter when you’re hosting lunch or dinner at home.
To make the topping extra pretty, I spooned the cream cheese mixture into a zip-lock bag, snipped off a corner, and swirled it over each pikelet — it makes them look a little fancy without any effort at all. Then it’s just a small piece of smoked salmon on top, a sprinkle of chives, and they’re ready to serve.
