FAQ

  • Can I make these ahead of time?

    It's best to assemble the blinis just before serving to prevent them from becoming soggy. However, you can prepare the cream cheese mixture and slice the salmon ahead of time and store them separately in the refrigerator.
  • What can I use if I don't have fresh dill?

    If you don't have fresh dill, you can use dried dill or other fresh herbs like chives or parsley. Alternatively, a small squeeze of lemon juice can also add a nice burst of flavor.
  • Can I use different type of cheese ?

    Sure, you can try with goat cheese if you like it, but be aware that you will change the original taste.
