Smoked Salmon Fish Appetizers

Ingredients:

Directions:

Spread the cream cheese evenly over each cracker. Place the lox on top of the cream cheese spread and garnish with dill.

Alternatively, you can roll them up. In small bowl, combine the cream cheese, dill, and pepper. Spread evenly over each slice of salmon. Roll up each slice, like a fruit roll up. Cover and chill for an hour or so. Cut salmon rolls crosswise into about 3/4 inch pieces, like sushi rolls. Serve with or on top of the crackers.

Mango Infused Hickory Planked Salmon

Recipe courtesy of Meg Colby from Albuquerque, NM, USA

Ingredients:

• salmon, freshly caught
• hickory planks
• mango juice
• olive oil
• salt
• white pepper

Directions:

I had a wonderful piece of fresh caught salmon which I wanted to grill over hot coals. And I wanted to experiment with plank grilling.

So I got some hickory planks from a local store. I soaked one of the planks in some mango juice for several hours to get it nice and saturated with the juice. Then I rubbed my piece of salmon with some olive oil and lightly salted it and added some white pepper and placed it on the plank.

I put the whole thing over a really hot bed of coals, cooked it for about 10 minutes and, I swear, it was the best piece of cooked salmon I have ever had. You could probably do this with any kind of fish. Enjoy!
