I think the jelly would be a safer choice, not everyone loves dijon.
Make it tiny, you have quite a feast coming up !!

Good point mitchdesj, I didn't think about that.

Yes, it will be small. It's actually a phyllo purse. Bite size.

Thanks,

Bill

I would rather something with a citrus flavor. How about a mango puree with lemoon zest?

Interesting how our palates think!!!

I would be inclined to make a dill based sauce, perhaps sour cream, dijon, fresh dill, capers.

While I am not a cuisine expert (even if I live in Belgium and if we eat French cuisine), I think that the best ingredients o accompany smoked salmon are lemon or dill based mixtures ;-)

Thank you everyone for the advice.

I've decided on sour cream with dill. Great dsuggestions all around.

Merry Christmas,

Bill

Bill I got thinking about this and I think a creme fraiche may be more interesting than the sour cream, although the sour cream would be lovely too.

I make mine with equal parts heavy cream and sour cream (1 cup each). Whisk together, cover with plastic wrap and let sit out on the counter overnight or until thickened.

Cover tightly and refrigerate for 4 hours.

Lovely tart flavour.

Hi All,

Just wanted to say thanks again for the suggestions. I settled for the following lemon dill sauce to accent the salmon phyllo purse:

1 3-ounce package cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh dill

Mixed the first five ingredients until smooth and then stirred in the dill. It made 2/3 cup.

It was a huge success!

Bill

fabulous, I'll jot down this recipe.
