Ingredients
1 2-ounce jar golden caviar
8 ounces crème fraiche or sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 1 1/2 pound side of smoked salmon, thinly sliced
Fresh lemon wedges
Fresh chives
Pumpernickel cocktail bread, French baguette, or crackers

Directions
Set aside 1 teaspoon caviar.
Place crème fraiche in medium bowl.
Top with chopped chives, mustard, and remaining caviar.
Sprinkle with pepper.
Gently stir just until combined (over-stirring will cause crème fraiche to soften).
Top with remaining caviar.
Cover; chill until cold. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.)
Place salmon on platter.
Garnish with lemon and chives.
Serve with sauce and cocktail bread.
