CUCUMBER CUPS WITH DILL CREAM AND SMOKED SALMON
Classic combos are classic because the flavors go well together! Dill, cucumber, and smoked fish are combined with a bit of lemon to perk things up. Small pieces of smoked trout would be a good substitute for the salmon in this pretty, easy, no-cook hors d'oeuvre. Cucumber cups can be assembled and kept chilled in an airtight container 1 day ahead of time.

SOUR CREAM & DILL SAUCE TO SERVE WITH SALMON
I prefer to make this sauce ahead to give the flavors time to blend together. I've usually served this with salmon baked with a combination of white wine, tarragon, dill & shallots or scallions. I'm posting this the way it originally came to me, but nowadays I would omit the salt and let others add it at the dinner table.

CREAM CHEESE WRAPPED DILL PICKLES
Totally addictive appetizer! Dill pickle rounds are the center of attention when wrapped in a blanket of cream cheese spread deli meat. An interesting appetizer I wanted to try after chef EnJenn3 described it in Topic of the Month thread. I searched and was surprised that the recipe wasn't posted here. I found different versions of it on Allrecipes and Cooks.com. I took both versions and spliced them together, based on my previous experience making similar appys, and here you have it. Herb-flavored spreadable cream cheese could also be used instead of regular. I got about 5-6 pickle rounds out of each pickle, but it will depend on how big they are to begin with.

OPENED-FACED OMELET WITH LEMON-DILL CREAM CHEESE, SMOKED SALMON AND GRILLED ASPARAGUS
Steps:
- For the lemon-dill cream cheese: Mix together the cream cheese, dill and lemon zest and juice in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Cover and let sit at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld, at least 15 minutes.
- For the omelets: Heat a grill pan over high heat. Brush the asparagus with 2 tablespoons oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the asparagus on all sides until slightly charred and crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Cut into thirds.
- Heat a 6-inch nonstick pan over medium heat and brush with some oil. Whisk together 3 eggs in a small bowl until light and fluffy. Add to the pan and cook, stirring constantly with a heat-resistant rubber spatula, until barely cooked, about 20 seconds. Stir in some salt and pepper. Flip and cook until just set, but not dry, and barely golden brown on the bottom, 10 to 15 seconds more. Slide the omelet onto a plate. Spread some of the cream cheese over the omelet and top with some of the asparagus and 3 slices of the salmon. Garnish with some dill fronds. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh dill. If you don't have fresh dill, you can use 1 tablespoon of dried dill.
- You can use any type of sour cream, but full-fat sour cream will give you the creamiest result.
- If you don't have lemon juice, you can use white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
- Dill cream can be used as a dip for vegetables, chips, or crackers. It can also be used as a topping for baked potatoes, grilled fish, or chicken.
- Dill cream can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Dill cream is a versatile and delicious sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you are using it as a dip, a topping, or a sauce, dill cream is sure to please everyone at your table.
