Preparation

Mix the sour cream with lemon juice, a little lemon zest, and the chopped dill. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper, fill a small piping bag (or use a spoon to portion the mixture), and refrigerate.
Wash the cucumber, halve it lengthwise (optional if it's too thick), and use a vegetable peeler to cut it into long, thin strips. The strips should be pliable and not too watery—pat dry lightly if necessary.
Heat the butter in a large frying pan and cook the blinis over medium heat until golden brown (about 1-2 minutes per side). Drain briefly on kitchen paper, if necessary.
Place a dollop of dill-infused sour cream on each blini using a piping bag or a teaspoon. Place a small slice of smoked salmon on top, then decoratively fold a cucumber slice over the top.
Top with some salmon caviar and decorate with a small sprig of dill and chives.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Best consumed within a few hours.

Tip: If you have some smoked salmon left over, simply use it the next day for a quick salmon egg scramble, pasta with salmon and lemon, or as a topping on a bagel with cream cheese. It's also perfect as a wrap filling with cream cheese and salad!
