Assembly: Arrange the crackers on a serving plate. Place a small dollop of dill cream on each cracker. Spread lightly. Top with a salmon rose and a small sprig of fresh dill for garnish.
- For a firmer cream, drain fresh cheese in a sieve for 15 minutes before using if it's very liquid.
- Choose crackers with a neutral taste (avoid overly salty or strong sesame flavors) to let the filling shine.
- Assemble the bites just before serving to keep the crackers crispy.
- For a luxury version, add a small teaspoon of caviar or trout roe on top.
- Serve with a dry white wine (Chablis, Muscadet) or brut champagne. Present on a slate board with toothpicks.
