This is one of my favorite crostini combinations, with smoked salmon that is nicely balanced by the lemon and herbs in the compound butter. Yes, smoked salmon is a slightly pricier ingredient, but I'd rather spend a few extra bucks and save time and reduce stress, don't you? Compound butter is just a fancy word for butter that has been flavored with herbs and other supplementary ingredients. Additional elements are mixed into the butter, and then the butter is generally refrigerated so that it is firm enough to be sliced. In this recipe, I didn't care to preserve the shape of the butter, since I was going to spread it on the crostini anyway. I hope you enjoy this recipe, and I hope it makes your dinner party successful and stress-free!
