Anna's smoked salmon crumpets

Kick off your Christmas dinner in style with this simple but luxurious starter made with Lidl's Deluxe Scottish salmon

Lidl's Deluxe Scottish salmon

Ingredients

100g Deluxe smoked Scottish salmon beetroot infused with edible gold dusting

50g soft cheese

2 tsp chopped dill, plus extra to serve

½ lemon, zested and a squeeze of juice, plus 2 wedges to serve

2 pickled gherkins, finely chopped

2 crumpets

1-2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling

handful of rocket

Method

Step 1

Finely slice most of the smoked salmon, leaving two of the prettiest slices to decorate, then tip into a bowl and mix with the soft cheese, dill, lemon zest and juice, gherkins, and a crack of black pepper - no need to add salt. Toast the crumpets until golden and crisp.

Step 2

Drizzle the crumpets with the oil so it falls into the holes. Spoon the smoked salmon mixture over the top. Use two spoons to create a quenelle, if you want to make it look restaurant-worthy.

Step 3

Top with the leftover smoked salmon slices, along with some rocket and extra dill. Drizzle with a little olive oil and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over.

Remove the capers and rocket, add some scrambled eggs, and you'll have a delightful Christmas breakfast.
