Seven-Layer Salmon Bites

Ingredients for Seven-Layer Salmon Bites

• 275g whipped cream cheese

• 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest

• 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives

• 1/4 teaspoons salt

• 1/4 teaspoons black pepper

• 6 (6- by 5-inch) oval slices dark pumpernickel sandwich bread (about 1/3 inch thick)

• 230g thinly sliced Scottish smoked salmon

• 60ml salmon roe (60g)

How to make Seven-Layer Salmon Bites

Stir together cream cheese, zest, lemon juice, chives, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Stack bread slices, then trim to form 4 1/4- by 3 1/4-inch rectangles. Arrange rectangles in 1 layer. Spread each with 1 heaping tablespoon cheese mixture and top with a thin layer of smoked salmon (cut to fit with kitchen shears). Make 1 more layer each of cheese and salmon, then top with remaining cheese. Trim edges to make uniform and chill rectangles on a platter until tops are firm, about 1 hour. Cut rectangles into 8 (1 1/2- by 1-inch) pieces, then top each piece with a rounded 1/4 teaspoons roe.
