Honey Maple Smoked Salmon Mini Tart Flambée
Sweet, slowly caramelized onions, tart crème fraiche, and rich honey maple smoked salmon work together to delight the senses in this light and flaky party snack. This dish comes together quickly, and is appropriate for all occasions. We suggest using our honey maple smoked salmon, but this appetizer works just as well made with most varieties of our hot smoked salmon, or our cold smoked salmon.
Directions
Prebake the filo dough shells as per their instructions. Set aside to cool.
In a bowl mix onions and salt. Toss together so slices separate.
Preheat large sauté pan to medium heat.
Add butter to the pan, melt, then add onions. The pan may seem very full, but as the onions turn sauté, they will cook down.
Turn the pan to medium low, and stir occasionally for about 60 - 90 minutes, or until onions are browned and caramelized. If they look dry, start to stick to the pan, or begin to burn, add 1 teaspoon of water at a time.
Once done, set aside, and let cool; it should yield about ½ cup. These will keep in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for 1 week.
Fill the tart shell halfway with a small dollop of crème fraiche, then a pile of onions. Top with salmon. Garnish with a few picked thyme leaves.
Finish with black pepper.
