Smoked Salmon and Preserved Lemon Appetizer

		This refreshing appetizer is a favorite of mine. It is easy to prepare, but makes an elegant and flavorful presentation at the table. I like to use a variation of the recipe by making a spread with the lemons, chives, pepper and softened cream cheese and putting on chive scones with the smoked salmon for a light breakfast or brunch snack. Either way, the flavors have a distinctively fresh and aromatic flavor. Try to find fresh, not packaged, cream cheese from your local specialty food grocer. The extra effort will be worth it once you taste the difference. Email Recipe to a Friend \| Print
