Ingredients

  • 100g Deluxe beetroot-infused smoked Scottish salmon 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 tsp finely chopped Freshona pickled gherkins
  • 2 crumpets
  • handful of rocket
  • drizzle of extra virgin olive oil

Method

  1. Finely chop most of the smoked salmon, reserving the two nicest slices to decorate, and tip into a bowl with the soft cheese, dill, lemon zest and juice, the gherkins and a crack of black pepper. Toast the crumpets until deep golden and crisp.

  2. Drizzle the crumpets with a little oil so it falls into the holes. Spoon over the smoked salmon mixture, then top with the reserved smoked salmon slices, the rocket and some dill. Drizzle over a little more olive oil, and serve lemon wedges for squeezing over.
