Cucumber, Smoked Salmon and Pickle Crostini for an Evening at Home
A tray of crostini is one of the easiest ways to host before a night out, and this combination of cool cucumber, silky smoked salmon and a sharp hit of pickle is light enough that nobody feels weighed down before slipping into a fitted dress. Everything can be prepared ahead, and assembly takes only a few minutes once guests arrive.
What you need
- One baguette, sliced on the diagonal about a centimetre thick
- Olive oil for brushing
- Cream cheese or crème fraîche, softened
- Fresh dill and a little lemon zest
- One small cucumber, very thinly sliced or ribboned with a peeler
- Good-quality smoked salmon, torn into strips
- Pickles such as cornichons or dill pickle, finely chopped, or quick-pickled red onion
- Black pepper and flaky salt
Method
- Brush the bread lightly with oil and toast in a hot oven until golden and crisp at the edges. Let it cool completely so the toppings stay fresh.
- Beat the cream cheese with chopped dill, lemon zest and a twist of pepper.
- Pat the cucumber slices dry with kitchen paper; this keeps the toasts from turning soggy.
- Spread each crostino with the herbed cheese, layer on cucumber, then drape a ribbon of salmon over the top.
- Finish with a scattering of chopped pickle, a small dill sprig and a pinch of flaky salt.
Hosting tips
Toast the bread up to a day early and store it in an airtight tin. Keep the salmon chilled until the last moment, and assemble no more than half an hour before serving. For a vegetarian option, swap the salmon for thin radish slices or roasted peppers. Bite-sized pieces are kinder to evening wear too: one neat mouthful means no crumbs on a sleek knit or a satin finish.
If you are planning an outfit to match the occasion, our lookbook has styling ideas for cocktail evenings, and the size guide can help you choose a fit that feels comfortable from the first canapé to the last toast.
