Lox on Rye with Onion-Caper Mayonnaise

From the book The Basic Gourmet Entertains by Diane Morgan, Dan Taggart, and Kathleen Taggart

Ingredients

Steps

1. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, capers, onion, and pepper to taste. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to use.
2. Cut rye slices into 1½-inch squares. Cut lox slices the same size or a little smaller.
3. Place a lox slice on each rye slice and top with about ½ teaspoon onion-caper mayonnaise. Divide among 2 platters, garnish with dill sprigs (if using), and serve within an hour after assembling.

Notes

• There are lots of possibilities for rye breads. Cocktail rye, a classic choice for this preparation, is often hard and dry. We suggest you find the best sliced rye and cut to the correct size.
