Start by gathering all your ingredients. Ensure the smoked salmon is kept cool until you're ready to work with it. Dice the small red onion and place it in a bowl with the crème fraîche and capers. This mixture will serve as a delicious filling for your salmon roses.
Lay a slice of smoked salmon on your cutting board. Start at one end and gently roll it up to form a rose shape. You can adjust the size of the rose by using more or less salmon. Repeat this process until you have created as many salmon roses as desired.
While you're making the salmon roses, carefully separate the leaves of the endive. Each leaf will serve as a base for the salmon rose. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
On your serving platter, arrange the endive leaves. Place a salmon rose on top of each endive leaf. This not only adds a beautiful presentation but also provides a convenient way for your guests to enjoy the dish.
Using a small spoon, add a dollop of the crème fraîche mixture on top of each salmon rose. This will enhance the flavors and provide a creamy contrast to the smoky salmon.
For an extra touch, you can garnish with additional capers or finely chopped fresh herbs, such as dill or parsley. Serve immediately and watch your guests enjoy each exquisite bite of these Smoked Salmon Roses with Endive and Crème Fraiche.
