Filo smoked salmon canape recipe

Sophisticated, delicious and a breeze to prepare – our filo smoked salmon canapé is one of the tastiest, easiest recipes you can find!

We’re strong believers that sometimes the tastiest recipes are the simplest, and our filo smoked salmon canapé proves just that. With only six ingredients and under 10 mins cook time, this recipe is perfect at Christmas and New Year but it’s truly brilliant at any time of year.

Ready-made filo pastry is available in the chilled aisle of many supermarkets but it can also be sold frozen. We would recommend buying a good quality, naturally smoked salmon as it plays a central role in the canapé.

There are lots of flavoured varieties available that you might also prefer including gin, whisky and citrus cured. If you’re using a flavoured salmon, consider a plain cream cheese. Alternatively, you could make up a selection so that your guests have a variety.
