How to Make Salmon Moons

  1. In a medium bowl, beat together 4 ounces of cream cheese and 2 tablespoons of sour cream until completely smooth and creamy.
  2. Gently fold in 1/2 cup cooked salmon (flaked), 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped), 1 tablespoon capers (drained), and the juice of 1/2 lemon. Mix until well combined, being careful not to overmix.
  3. Slice croissants in half horizontally. Generously spread the salmon mixture onto the bottom half of each croissant.
  4. Top with the other croissant halves. Serve immediately or chill for later. Enjoy!
