Smoked Whitefish Crostini

Name: Smoked Whitefish Crostini
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 20
Cuisine: American Italian
Ingredients: 1 teaspoon white sesame seeds; 1 teaspoon poppy seeds; 1/2 teaspoon onion powder; ¼ teaspoon kosher salt; 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil; 1/2 a baguette (sliced into 20 (1/4inch) slices); 8 ounces flaked whitefish; 2 tablespoon dill (chopped); 6 tablespoons crème fraîche; 20 caper berries (halved)

The flavors of these crostini are truly classic - smoked fish, dill, creme fraiche and capers. However, for visual purposes, I love using caper berries for these - you can generally find them in the grocery store right next to the regular capers. I like to serve these up on small slices of baguette, but I season the crostini with sesame and poppy seeds. It makes it taste like an everything bagel!

This is a great sophisticated little bite to serve up at any cocktail party. They pair well with a fizzy and refreshing cocktail, like lemon-thyme Prosecco.
