Puff Pastry Smoked Salmon Bites

Puff Pastry Smoked Salmon Bites are a sophisticated yet simple appetizer that is impressive yet really simple to make.

Combining flaky, buttery puff pastry with silky smoked salmon and complementary flavors like cream cheese and fresh herbs, these bite-sized treats offer a luxurious taste experience without complicated prep.

Helpful Tips

• Keep Puff Pastry Cold Until Baking -Puff pastry is temperature-sensitive. Keeping it cold until just before baking helps it puff up properly and results in a crisp, flaky texture.
• Don’t Overfill the Pastry Cups – Use just enough cream cheese and smoked salmon to complement the pastry without weighing it down. Overfilling can cause the pastry to become soggy or lose its shape.
• Customize Your Toppings – While classic cream cheese and dill pair beautifully with smoked salmon, feel free to experiment with other flavors like horseradish, chives, or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to add brightness.
