Apple and salmon

Continuing new exploration of new combinations with smoked salmon.   Before the recipes, I wanted to note here that I think the best base for smoked salmon is Etimek.  I have tried different breads, crackers, Wasa, etc.  But good old Etimek is I think the perfect choice.  What makes it perfect are several reasons:  1.  It doesn't have a taste, which allows you to cherish your own toppings, size, color, ease of finding, and price.

Here are the apple combinations:  One of the flavor combinations that I really enjoyed is apple and salmon. Here are two varieties which I highly recommend. They are very similar and use the same ingredients in different ways:

Spread some cream cheese on an Etimek (or a ready made toasted bread). Place a slice ring of red onion and a thin slice of apple and top with shredded turnip. Season with freshly ground black pepper.
Alternatively, spread some cream cheese on a toast (whole grain with sunflower seeds in the picture). Place a piece of smoked salmon and top it with a thin slice of apple. Decorate with chopped red onion, tomatoes, dill and scallions. Season with freshly ground black pepper! Enjoy!
