Name: Smoked Salmon with Crispy Shallots and Dilled Cream
Yield: 2 Servings
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons sour cream; 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh dill; 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice; 1 1/2 teaspoons butter; 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1 large shallot, thinly sliced crosswise (about 1/4 cup); 6 1/3-inch-thick baguette slices, cut on diagonal, or 6 water crackers; 1 1/2 ounces thinly sliced smoked salmon, halved lengthwise

This salty, savory nibble is perfect with the sparkling cocktail. A garnish of crispy shallots adds just the right amount of crunch.
