Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Smoked salmon
- 2 large Sweet onions
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 whole Lemon
- 1 tablespoon Capers
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the sweet onions and slice them thinly into even rings.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until melted and shimmering.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sprinkle with salt. Stir to coat the onions evenly with the oil and butter mixture.
Cook the onions on medium-low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become golden and caramelized. Reduce the heat if needed to avoid burning.
While the onions are cooking, finely chop the fresh dill and slice the lemon into wedges.
Arrange the smoked salmon slices on a large serving platter or individual plates.
Once the onions are caramelized, remove them from the skillet and allow them to cool for 2-3 minutes.
Top the smoked salmon with the caramelized onions, scattering them evenly across the dish.
Sprinkle with capers and chopped dill, then finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the top.
Season with a touch of black pepper and serve immediately. Optionally, pair with crackers or toasted bread for added texture.
