This Smoked Salmon with Lemon Pesto Crostini is an easy peasy appetizer that everyone will love!

If you’ve been following the blog, then you know how much I love Smoked Salmon. Maybe it’s my Norwegian heritage. I could eat Smoked Salmon every day of the week and never get sick of it. 🙂

A lot of my recipe creations come from scrounging through the fridge and looking to see what leftovers or produce I need to use up.

I had just made a batch of my Lemon Pesto Penne with Crispy Prosciutto and Asparagus the other night and had some leftover Lemon Pesto.

So I decided to cut up a gluten free baguette and make Crostini out of it. Topped each slice with Lemon Pesto, Smoked Salmon and BOOM… a taste explosion was created!

I hope you guys love these Smoked Salmon with Lemon Pesto Crostini as much as we did! They’re:

• Super easy to make
• A crowd favorite
• Savory
• Vibrant
• and Totally Satisfying
