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
