Ingredients

• 5 sheets phyllo pastry
• 3 Tbsp (45 mL) melted butter
• 3 Tbsp (45 mL) extra virgin olive oil
• 2 Tbsp (25 mL) fresh lemon juice
• 2 Tbsp (25 mL) vodka
• 2 tsp (10 mL) Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 tsp (2 mL) cayenne
• 1/2 lb (250 g) thin-sliced smoked salmon, coarsely chopped
• 3 Tbsp (45 mL) red onion, minced
• 1 Tbsp (15 mL) capers
• 1 cup (250 mL) fresh dill, chopped

Method
 

1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Coat 4 medium-sized ramekins (175 mL) or muffin tins with cooking spray or melted butter.
2. Brush each sheet of Phyllo with melted butter and stack one on top of the other. Cut phyllo layers into 4 equal squares and place each stack into a ramekin. Bake for 15 minutes or until edges are golden and pastry is crisp throughout. Remove from oven and place ramekins on rack to cool.
3. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, vodka, Worcestershire sauce and cayenne. Set aside. In a medium bowl, combine salmon, onion and capers. Add olive oil mixture and dill and toss well to combine.
4. Remove phyllo cups from ramekins. Fill cups with salmon mixture and serve.
