By preparing smoked salmon appetizers, you're helping your guests to celebrate the season without sending yourself to the poor house. Smoked salmon has a rich, smoky, delicate flavor that your guests are sure to love, but the price tag doesn't have to match the indulgent taste. And in this day and age of diets and cleanses, smoked salmon appetizers are customizable to meet everyone's restrictions. You'll be able to serve everyone something they'll love, without spending days in the kitchen.

But what are the types of smoked salmon appetizers that you can use to impress your guests. There are hundreds of different recipes and variations, but we've selected three elegant and easy options that you can make quickly. You can serve any of these dishes on passing trays, or on a help yourself buffet. The first option is the most classic, and is always impressive. Simply cut rounds from a loaf of pumpernickel bread, place a dab of cream cheese on top, and layer on some smoked salmon. It's simple and elegant. You can also try this appetizer with rye bread rounds, and chèvre cheese, for some added kick and a twist on this classic.

There are many other options when you're going the simple route as well. A smoked salmon appetizer that is always a crowd pleaser is a dip. It's a great way to add your own flair to a simple basic dish. All you'll need is smoked salmon, cream cheese, and a food processor. Blend these ingredients together, and provide something to dip into it, like vegetables or crackers. If you'd like to spice things up, try adding some different ingredients to add texture, like chives. You can also leave some smoked salmon chunks unblended for an extra surprise.

A last, simple smoked salmon appetizer is the smoked salmon roll up. Using a blend of ricotta cheese, salt and pepper, and some lemon juice, place a line of the filling down a piece of smoked salmon. Roll this up, cut it into inch long pieces and serve! It's the perfect treat for your guests!

Smoked salmon appetizers are an easy and fun way to share for your party finger foods this holiday spirit with your friends and family. Because none of these ideas involve baking, you'll be able to prepare them ahead of time easily, and spend your party with your guests, not slaving away in the kitchen!
