If you love smoked salmon, then when you try this you will think you have gone to heaven!!! I eyeball the amount of oil....which would probably be less oil and more capers (can't get enough of those!!) and lots of freshly ground pepper. Yummers!!!

Very easy to put together, elegant and delicious! I made half a recipe and did not use parsley as we don't care for it. Would make again. Made for ZWT4.

I'm serving this as an appetizer tonight assuming I don't eat it all before my husband comes home. I really love the way the tartness of the lemon and the saltiness of the capers compliment the salmon. Perfect combination! Thanks!!

This type dish is much-favored in Iceland as a buffet/party appy item + a starter course for special dinners at home & in all restaurants. It is often *dressed* in this fashion, but is usually served w/baguette slices, butter & a creamy mustard-dill sauce. While DH & I both prefer the use of olive oil, he is a purist when it comes to most other adds & I am not. I adore the addition of capers & onion, so we were both able to indulge our favorite ways w/this when I served it as part of his *Welcome Home From Vienna* dinner yesterday. The smoked salmon was sliced right from our freezer, the best way to get the paper-thin slices preferred. This is worth every star it got, so thx for your help making his homecoming spec. :-)

Simple, elegant and delicious. This is a lovely recipe that is a grand appetizer or light lunch. I didn't have any fresh parsley and didn't want to use dried here. I didn't add the pepper so that DH would eat it too but added it to my portion. Yumm.
