Ingredients

Spanish onions - 1 head
Rye Bread - 16 pieces
Red Caviar - 1.1 oz
Freshly squeezed orange juice - 2 spoons

Step by Step guide

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the sliced herring (ideally, there should be sixteen slices), half a red onion, thinly sliced into half-rings, two tablespoons of freshly squeezed orange juice, and a pinch of black pepper. Cover and let the herring marinate for at least three hours, or preferably overnight.

Step 2

Using a mixer, beat the butter, then gradually add the sour cream and lemon juice while the mixer is still running. Beat until you achieve a light, completely smooth mixture. Next, finely chop half of the green onion and add it to the butter mixture, then season to taste with salt and ground black pepper. Remove the pickled herring from the marinade and discard the onions.

Step 3

Finely chop the smoked salmon and a quarter of a red onion.

Step 4

Toast the rye bread until lightly golden — you can use a skillet, an oven, or a toaster. Then, cut three attractive shapes from each slice, for example, using cookie cutters.

Step 5

Spread a little lemon-onion oil on each canapé. On one third, place some salmon with onion, on the second third, add black caviar, and on the final third, arrange a piece of herring. Garnish with the remaining chopped herbs and parsley leaves.
