Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Smoked salmon slices
- 150 grams Cream cheese
- 50 grams Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Capers
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 roll Plastic wrap
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, freshly chopped dill, capers, lemon juice, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and evenly combined.
Line 4 small ramekins or muffin tins with plastic wrap, leaving enough excess plastic wrap hanging over the edges to fully enclose the timbales later.
Place overlapping slices of smoked salmon into each lined ramekin, ensuring the bottom and sides are fully covered, and leave enough salmon hanging over the edges to seal the filling inside.
Spoon the cream cheese mixture into each salmon-lined ramekin, gently pressing and smoothing it down to remove any air pockets.
Fold the overhanging salmon slices over the top of the filling to enclose it fully, then wrap the plastic wrap tightly around each timbale.
Refrigerate the timbales for at least 1 hour to allow them to set and for the flavors to meld.
When ready to serve, carefully unwrap the plastic wrap and invert each timbale onto a serving plate. Remove the ramekin or tin and peel off the plastic wrap completely.
Garnish with additional fresh dill, a wedge of lemon, or a few extra capers, if desired. Serve immediately with crackers, bread, or a fresh salad.
