Made with delicious cubes of smoked salmon and perfectly seasoned blinis (using my pre-seasoned baking mix), these Savory Blini Salmon Bites make an elegant but simple-to-prepare appetizer or finger food for your next gathering. You can easily add a dot of sriracha and sprinkle with chives for a visually and texturally varied presentation.

Fancy little finger foods don’t have to be complicated. Once having decided on finger food, you have (usually) already committed to some amount of hand work. However, time is not infinite and for those of us without catering or pastry chef skills, easy to use or prepare ingredients can be a saving grace. As you’ll see with these Savory Blini Salmon Bites, they enable you to create a bite-size treat that’s elegant, delicious, and not a pain in the butt to make.
