Smoked Salmon Blueberry Crostini

Adios, Portland! I’ll see you in a month! Today, after struggling to pack for legitimately cold weather (the high in Iceland yesterday was 46. OMG.), I’m off! But first, a ridiculously hot destination: Denver. It’s supposed to be 97 degrees today and I am definitely loaded with sweaters and leggings and NOT summer clothing. So, if you see me sweating bullets in Denver — that’s why. YAAY TRAVEL!

But actually: yaaay travel! I’m psyched! Off to Europe I go!

ALSO PSYCHED FOR THESE UH-MAZING CROSTINI! Fo reals, these are some of the most beautiful things I’ve maybe ever made. And so so so simple. And so so so delish! Auto-correct keeps changing that to relish. These are not relish. They are DE-LISH.

Sometimes I get these really intense cravings for smoked salmon and cream cheese. You know what I’m talking about: the lox bagel? Preferably on an everything bagel, duh. Garlic FO LYFE. {side note, I realize I need to tone down my “FO LYFE” usage… but, um, I can’t.} There is something about creamy, tangy, smooth cream cheese with a nice fresh piece of smoked salmon: there’s nothing really to mimic it (and if there is, please tell me now so I can eat it all.the.time.).

These crostini were born from one of those cravings, plus a note on my iPhone that said “salmon + blueberry” — a typical vague note from/to myself that I never remember exactly what I had in mind when I wrote it. This seemed like the perfect moment to get that pair together! I picked up some incredible local blueberries (oooooh yum), toasted some bread slices, mixed cream cheese and green onions together, then added the salmon and drizzled it all with a honey/soy mixture! SO GOOD! SO so good. I literally ate all of them by myself. I regret nothing.

These are so quick to prepare, and definitely have a fake-fancy look (meaning, they look fancy but they aren’t!), so they’re perfect for a last-minute party addition! Of you can just make them for your own lunch and chow down like I did. Yessss!

Have a WONDERFUL weekend! I am planning on posting as usual while I’m gone, but honestly don’t know what my internet situation will be. So, if I’m late/absent, that’s why! Love you all! xo
