Seductive Salmon

Serves 2

Preparation time less than 30 mins

Cooking time less than 10 mins

Ingredients
12 thin slices of rye or pumpernickel bread
4 tbsp cream cheese
1 tsp capers, drained and chopped
1 tsp hot horseradish sauce
1 lemon
salt and freshly ground black pepper
125g/4½oz pack of sliced smoked salmon

Method
1. Using a heart-shaped cutter approximately 5-6cm/2-2½in in diameter, cut out hearts from the slices of bread. If you can't get hold of rye or pumpernickel bread, you can use mini blinis or lightly toasted, thinly sliced brown bread.
2. Place the cream cheese, capers and horseradish in a small bowl. Finely grate in a little lemon zest - the amount you add is up to you, depending on how tart you're feeling! Cut the lemon in half and add a small squeeze of the juice. Season with salt and pepper and mix together.
3. Spread or pipe the cream cheese mixture on to the centre of the heart-shaped bread. Place twists of smoked salmon on top and arrange on a plate. For the perfect partnership, serve with an ice-cold shot of lemon-flavoured vodka.
