Topped with a tangy, light cream cheese spread, canapés aren’t just for brunch—they’re also the perfect appetizer. Delicately portioned on a lightly toasted baguette, the salty smoked salmon is the decadent topping to this appetizer

Prep 5 MIN

Cook 10 Min

Method

Make the herbed cream cheese…

Step 1

Mix cream cheese, herbs, lemon juice and zest together in a medium bowl until smooth.

Step 2

Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Assemble your canapes…

Step 3

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over top of each toasted baguette slice. Layer salmon (in a rosette shape) on top, and garnish with capers and sliced red onions. Cover and refrigerate until served

This was always a little amuse that we had to tide us over before we got together for the heavy holiday meal.

Executive Chef & Owner of Twist Catering

Chef La-toya fell in love with cooking at the young age of 17. Born in Canada of Jamaican descent, La-toya grew up cooking and eating ‘island foods’, but didn’t develop a true appreciation of the diverse, bold and flavourful cuisine until later in life. After gaining years of experience, she crafted her own take on what she dubs ‘Island Paradise’, a fused style of traditional Caribbean ingredients combined with Mediterranean flavours.

Chef La-toya was the personal chef of the 2019 NBA Champion Toronto Raptors and the first female chef of colour to cater the Media & Filmmakers Lounge at the TIFF Bell Lightbox, the Rising Stars event and the Board of Directors cocktail reception at the world-renowned Toronto International Film Festival. Chef La-toya is the Vice President of Alli’s Journey, a non-profit organization focusing on young adults with cancer.
