Recipe for Air-fried potato slices for the base (or refer to other options in the notes)
1 tbsp fresh chives finely chopped
4 oz plain Greek yogurt
4 oz cream cheese softened
1 tbsp fresh dill finely chopped
1 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
½ tsp fresh lemon zest
1/8 tsp salt
12 oz wild caught smoked Salmon thinly sliced
3 tbsp capers drained of juice
fresh cracked pepper to taste

Prepare potatoes (if using) using my air fryer potato slices method. Refer to the recipe post above for oven instructions and see the notes below for potato substitutions.
Remove the cooked potato rounds from the air fryer, then set them aside to cool to room temperature. Season with finely chopped chives and a little salt and pepper, if desired.
Whisk together Greek yogurt, cream cheese, chopped dill, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt until smooth and creamy.
Top each potato round with 1-2 teaspoons of yogurt sauce, a slice of salmon, a few capers, fresh chives, and a small sprig of fresh dill.
Serve the salmon bites on a serving platter at room temperature.

- Salmon roll-ups – Skip the potatoes altogether! Instead, spread the yogurt sauce over a slice of smoked salmon, add a few capers, and roll it up like a cigar. Secure with a toothpick and garnish with a sprig of fresh dill for an elegant, bite-sized low-carb high-protein snack!

- Instead of potatoes – Feel free to serve the sauce, salmon, and dill on other sturdy hand held snacks, such as cucumber slices, endive leaves, toasted baguette slices, whole-grain, or gluten-free crackers or bagel chips. Baked garlic pita chips are a personal favorite swap. I love the contrasting textures with the cracker and chip base.

- Caper-free version – If you’re not into capers, finely chopped pickles, olives, or pickled onions can provide a similar briny kick.
