Northwest Smoked Salmon Crêpes

"A holiday in our house is not complete without these crepes," says Nancy Hess, who smokes local salmon herself for the filling. Notes: Hot-smoked salmon is firmer and flakier than cold-smoked salmon (lox). You can make the crêpes themselves up to 3 days ahead; cover and chill. Let warm to room temperature before separating. You can fill the crêpes (through step 3) up to 1 day ahead; cover and chill. Prep and Cook Time: about 2 1/4 hours.

Crêpes

5 ounces hot-smoked salmon (see notes)

2/3 cup mayonnaise

1/3 cup sour cream

1 cup shredded parmesan cheese

2 teaspoons lemon juice

3/4 teaspoon Worcestershire

3/4 teaspoon chopped fresh dill

1/8 teaspoon white pepper

1/8 teaspoon hot sauce

Seasoned salt

2 tablespoons melted butter

Paprika

Fresh dill sprigs, rinsed

Step 1

Stack 2 crêpes and, with a 2 3/4- to 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut into closely spaced rounds. Repeat to cut remaining crêpes; discard scraps.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 350°. Remove skin and bones from salmon. With your hands, break salmon into fine pieces; you should have about 1 cup. In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Worcestershire, chopped dill, white pepper, and hot sauce. Stir in the salmon and seasoned salt to taste.

Step 3

Mound about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salmon filling on one half of each crêpe round; fold it over to make a half-moon shape. Set crêpes, slightly overlapping, in a buttered 10- by 15-inch baking pan. Drizzle with melted butter and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese and a little paprika.

Step 4

Bake until crêpes are golden and bubbly, 15 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter or plates and garnish with dill sprigs.
