Red Fish Canapés on Skewers with Cream Cheese

Cooking method

1. Step 1:

   

   How do you make impressive red fish canapés on skewers with cream cheese? First, gather the ingredients on the list. You can use cream cheese plain or with add-ins to your taste, or swap it for processed cheese or any other soft cheese you like.

2. Step 2:

   

   Freeze the red fish slightly, peel off the skin, and cut it into squares about ¾ inch on a side and about ½ inch thick.

3. Step 3:

   

   Wash and dry the tomatoes. Cut the top off each cherry tomato. With a tea or coffee spoon, carefully scoop out the flesh, trying not to damage the walls. To make it easier, you can first cut around the flesh with a knife.

4. Step 4:

   

   Make the filling for the tomatoes. Wash, dry, and finely chop the dill.

5. Step 5:

   

   In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, dill, salt, and pepper. The soft cheese should be at room temperature, so take it out of the fridge ahead of time.

6. Step 6:

   

   Mix everything until smooth. Watch the consistency — if the filling comes out too stiff, you can thin it with sour cream or cream to a softer (but not runny) consistency. Transfer the cheese filling to a piping bag with a large tip.

7. Step 7:

   

   Pipe the cream cheese filling into the cherry tomatoes. You can also use an ordinary teaspoon.

8. Step 8:

   

   Assemble the canapés. Set a stuffed cherry tomato on each piece of fish. Pierce the stack with a skewer from top to bottom.

9. Step 9:

   

   For extra stability, you can add cucumber rounds at the base. Garnish the canapés with fresh herbs and serve. Enjoy!
