Smoked Salmon & Caviar Waffles

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Appetizers
The queen of luxury brunches. Here, the waffle is not a sweet treat but a neutral, crispy base (like a blini or toast) that supports the oily richness of smoked salmon and the salty, briny taste of caviar. The acidity of the lemon cream cheese cuts through the richness, keeping every bite balanced.

⚠️ Fish (Salmon, Caviar)

Instructions

1 ✓

Prepare the waffle batter: mix flour, baking powder, salt, and the small amount of sugar.

Tip: The sugar here isn't for sweetness but to help the Maillard reaction, creating a nice golden color.
2 ✓

Add milk, eggs, and melted butter, whisk until smooth, then cook the waffles.

Tip: For savory toppings, bake the waffles a bit crispier to hold the weight.
3 ✓

Mix the cream cheese with lemon juice, finely chopped dill, and pepper.

Tip: Lemon acidity cuts the fat of the cheese and salmon, making it taste fresher.
4 ✓

Let the waffles cool to lukewarm, spread with the herb cream, and lay salmon slices on top.

Tip: If you put it on hot waffles, the cream cheese will melt and run off.
5 ✓

Top with a small spoon of caviar and garnish with a sprig of dill.

Tip: Caviar is salty, so be careful not to oversalt the cream.

Recipe FAQ

What if I don't have caviar?
You can use a caviar substitute or just skip it; the salmon is flavorful enough on its own.
What cream cheese should I use?
Plain, spreadable cheese (like Philadelphia style) so you can season it yourself.
