Description

These Smoked Salmon Cucumber Rounds with Creamy Dill Spread are elegant, refreshing, and perfect for any occasion. Crisp cucumber slices are topped with a creamy dill and lemon spread, then finished with smoky, silky salmon. They’re bite-sized, gluten-free, and ready in minutes—ideal for brunches, parties, or light appetizers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large English cucumber, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped (plus more for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 4 oz (115g) smoked salmon, thinly sliced
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: capers, red onion slivers, or a sprinkle of chives

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Creamy Dill Spread: In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped dill, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  2. Slice the Cucumber: Wash and dry the cucumber. Slice into even rounds about 1/4 inch thick. Pat dry with a paper towel to remove moisture.
  3. Assemble the Rounds: Spread a small dollop of the dill mixture onto each cucumber slice. Gently top each one with a small piece of smoked salmon.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with extra dill or chives for color. Add optional toppings like capers or red onion if desired. Serve immediately or chill briefly before serving.

Notes

For best results, assemble the cucumber rounds right before serving to keep them crisp. You can prepare the creamy dill spread up to 2 days ahead and store it in the fridge. These appetizers are perfect for baby showers, brunches, or quick snacks. For a dairy-free option, use a vegan cream cheese substitute.
