Ingredients

Smoked salmon - 12 lb

Red onion - 12

Baby arugula - 3 oz

Chives - 1 12 tbl

Capers - 1 12 tbl

Mascarpone - 8.8 oz

Whole milk - 1 12 tbl

Fresh croissants - 4

Prep

Chives - mince

Capers - rinse and drain

Salmon - thinly slice

Red onion - thinly slice

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Place the croissants on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 8 minutes, until heated through. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool slightly.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the mascarpone, milk, chives, 1 tsp kosher salt, 12 tsp of pepper.

Slice each croissant in half horizontally with a serrated knife. Spread the bottom halves with the mascarpone mixture, then sprinkle evenly with the capers and red onion. Lay the salmon evenly on top of the capers and top with arugula, replacing the tops of the croissants, browned side up. Serve while the croissants are still slightly warm.
