Chef Lynn Michelle’s White Truffle Smoked Salmon Crostinis

We had such a blast with Chef Lynn Michelle for our CB2/CH2 feature! Today, we're sharing her White Truffle Smoked Salmon Crostinis.

White Truffle Smoked Salmon

Ingredients:
½ pound smoked salmon, cut into small pieces, removing the brownish section
¼ teaspoon, white truffle oil
1 tablespoon light olive oil
Salt, to season
Black pepper, to season
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1½ tablespoons fresh dill weed, chopped

Directions:
Place smoked salmon pieces into a medium size bowl. Gentle fold in the white truffle oil, olive oil, salt, black pepper, fresh lemon juice, and freshly chopped dill. Season to taste. NOTE: you can always add more white truffle oil, if desired; a little white truffle oil goes a long way.
Serve cold on top of dilled cream cheese and herbed crostini.

Dilled Cream Cheese

Ingredients:
Small container whipped cream cheese
Salt
Black pepper
Fresh dill weed, chopped

Directions:
In a small bowl, blend whipped cream cheese, salt, black pepper and fresh dill weed. Chill.

Herbed Crostini

1 loaf fresh bakery bread, sliced
on an angle in thin ½-inch slices.
Italian seasonings or dill weed seasoning, to sprinkle on top
Salt, to season
Black pepper, to season
2 cups robust olive oil, placed

Arrange baguette slices on a large, rimmed baking sheet; dredge the baguette slice quickly into the olive oil on one side and place back onto baking sheet.
