Salmon...delicious and healthy recipes...

I have loved Salmon for a long time and I receive recipes from Tassal, an Australian company based in Tasmania, regularly.  Based in Hobart, Tasmania, Tassal are now Australia's largest Atlantic salmon producers and marketers harvesting over 12,000 tonnes of salmon every year, the equivalent of nearly a quarter of the weight of Sydney's Harbor Bridge and 70% of Australia's entire Atlantic salmon production.

Some of the recipes are tried and true, but every now and then I come across one that is unique and a real winner.....Salmon Bon Bons....here is the recipe.....

Salmon Bon Bons

Preparation time:
15 min |
Portions:
12 servings
Ingredients
875g Tassal Tasmanian smoked salmon slices
24 baby Boconcini balls
200g dill pesto
24 chives, blanched 
Sliced lemon to serve
Dill leaves to garnish
Method
Remove Tassal smoked salmon from packaging and separate the slices a couple at a time. Lay slices flat on a board and slice in half. Place a small dollop of pesto into the centre of each slice of smoked salmon, then top with a baby Boconcini cheese. Gather up the edges of the smoked salmon to make a parcel and secure gently with a chive tying off firmly. Trim chive decoratively. Repeat with remaining smoked salmon and cheese. Arrange the smoked salmon bon bon’s on a large serving platter and garnish with sliced lemon and dill leaves.
