Tuna Meets Salmon Mini Toasts

March 31, 2017 By Lokness Leave a Comment

These Tuna Meets Salmon Mini Toasts make great appetizer for your weekend party. Baguette slices are buttered and lightly toasted, then top with smoked salmon & creamy tuna salad. Ready to serve in 20 minutes!

It has been a while since the last update. I was a bit sick last week. Sore throat and runny nose… I am still recovering right now, but feeling so much better. I have finally regained energy and cooked up something new.

These little toasts are excellent to serve as appetizer. This is actually my mom’s recipe. My mom doesn’t cook many western style food, except for special occasions, like birthday and Christmas. Other than the Smoked Sausage and Corn Loaded Mashed Potatoes, these toasts are usually on the menu as well. They can be tossed together quickly and part of it can be prepared ahead. Just assemble at the last-minute, they will make great snacks for a party.

A recipe with both tuna and salmon is quite unusual. You may wonder how two strong flavors work in one dish. The salmon in the recipe is smoked salmon. It is salty with a hint of smokiness. For the tuna, I used canned tuna and mixed them with mayonnaise. It is a quick and creamy tuna salad. Both fishes stand out in their own ways and work beautifully on a buttery lightly toasted bread. Crunchy, chewy, creamy, smokey, and salty… all the flavors in one! They tasted just like my mom’s toasts. Delish! Bryan and I finished the 8 toasts in no time!

Author Lokness

Ingredients

  • 1 can (5-ounces) chunk light tuna (prefer less sodium one)
  • 2½ tablespoons mayonnaise
  • ground black pepper
  • salt
  • 2 ounces smoked salmon
  • ¼ loaf of French baguette (cut out 8 (½-inch) slices)
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter (at room temperature)
  • chives (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  • Drain the tuna. Transfer to a small bowl. Mix with mayo. Season with ground black pepper. Taste and season with salt if needed. Cover with plastic wrap and keep in the fridge.
  • Preheat the oven to 450˚F (230˚C).
  • Cut the salmon into 8 pieces to about the same size of the toasts.
  • Spread butter on one side of the toasts. Transfer to the oven and toast until crisp on the outside and soft inside, about 4 minutes.
  • Place the salmon on top of the toasts. Top with about 1 tablespoon of tuna salad on each toast. Sprinkle with chives. Serve hot or warm.

Notes

  1. I used Japanese mayonnaise for a richer taste, but you can definitely use regular mayo.
  2. The tuna salad can be made a couple hours ahead and keep in the fridge.

Happy Lunar New Year! 新年快樂! Other than “ Happy Lunar New Year! 新年快樂! Other than “恭喜發財 Gong Hei Fat Choy” (wishing you wealth and prosperity), the other new year greeting that Bryan loves to say is “大吉大利 Dai Gut Dai Lei” (good luck and may things go smoothly).

In Chinese culture, mandarin oranges are often present during Lunar New Year. The pronunciation of the word “桔” (mandarin orange) sounds very similar to the word “吉” (luck), so mandarin orange is a fruit that brings in luck & prosperity. My grandma always have multiple plates full of mandarins in her house.

In this year of ox, I wish you all good health, good fortune, happiness & have a sweet year like these sweet mandarins! 🍊🐮🧧

Bryan & I have been dreaming about these chicken t Bryan & I have been dreaming about these chicken tenders from Sesame Grill @sesamegrill_626 for a few days. These tenders are unlike any we had before. Crunchy crust, yet delicate & not too heavy. The meat is super juicy & soft. Very simple food, but really well executed! Sesame Grill was original a fine dining restaurant, they redid their menu because of the pandemic & started to sell tenders only. And that got really popular! Incredible story & hope they’ll continue do well. If you’re ever in the area, definitely check them out.

Char Siu with Rice (叉燒飯) is a dish that I ca Char Siu with Rice (叉燒飯) is a dish that I can never get enough. Since I didn’t live close to a Chinese restaurant for a long time, I have been making my own for years. This week, I finally reshot the photos & gave a quick update for the recipe. Juicy & tender pork coated in a slightly sweet BBQ sauce, then top them over some hot steamed rice with a sweet soy sauce. Every bite is so satisfying!
