Smoked salmon and champagne! A decadent and pretty perfect way to welcome in Saturday evening. These savoury palmiers are the perfect little nibble. They are simple to make, can be prepared in advance and taste amazing. That is a pretty awesome combination!

Smoked Salmon and Dill Palmiers. A great, prepare ahead appetiser (appetizer) that is simple to make and tastes sensational.

Traditionally palmiers are filled with a sugar and butter filling and then baked until crisp. These savoury palmiers are filled with smoked salmon, cream cheese and fresh dill. I tend to make them slightly thicker than the sweet version, making them great as a canapé or appetiser.

You could use your own puff pastry, well a rough puff pastry (as who has time to roll and fold pastry 50 times!) but today (and most days!) I used shop bought puff pastry. It gives great results and is already rolled into perfect squares.

They are best serve warm or at room temperature as cold puff pastry tends to leave a funny film in your mouth. But seen as you can prepare these in advance and then chill/freeze until you are ready to bake them, you can get all the prep done beforehand. Then as your guest arrive, pop a tray in the oven. Within 20 minutes you are ready to serve warm homemade pastries, hand them round, crown yourself a domestic goddess and celebrate with another glass of champagne!

      Thank you Nagi, I love appetisers, it is the end of the meal I always struggle with. I have no natural instinct for sweet dishes.
      I love that these can be made ahead of time, it takes so much stress out of the equation.
      (They can also be made super quickly if you get the munchies, which I know a fellow carb queen will understand!)
      🙂

    wow I am so impressed, I have never had a savory palmier, but it just hit me what a creative and amazing idea this is, having smoked salmon wrapped in a buttery and flaky curst is so cute and delicious!
