Herbed Cream Cheese and Salmon Bites

This is one of my favorite dishes with smoked salmon. Smoked salmon is rich and the herbed cream cheese always enhances the flavor without making it too overpowering. These bites are the perfect pair.

You can also try these with this salted salmon recipe! For healthier options, you can go lighter on the cream cheese, use 1/3 fat cream cheese or substitute the crackers for cucumber slices for a keto recipe!
