Smørrebrød is a traditional Scandinavian open-faced sandwich featuring hearty rye bread topped with savory ingredients like smoked salmon and pickled vegetables. These canapes put a modern twist on the classic dish by using crispy fried beets for a pop of color, flavor, and crunch. The caraway butter provides a deliciously savory base for the creamy salmon, crunchy beets, and tangy onions. Serve these canapes as a festive appetizer for a party or as a light lunch with a small salad on the side.

2.Slice the beet on a mandoline into 1/8 inch slices.

7.Add a few crispy beet chips to each canape and sprinkle with chopped sweet onion and fresh chives, if desired.
8.Serve immediately.
