SMOKED SALMON MACARONS

Ingredients:

{Macaron Shells}

• dried chives or dill

{Filling}

• 4 oz smoked salmon
• 5 oz package Boursin cheese, at room temperature
• 2 Tbsp lemon juice
• 1/2 oz fresh chives or dill, finely chopped
• black pepper to taste
• Equipment:
• food processor
• rubber spatula
• piping bag fitted with #847 star tip

Instructions:

1. Make the macaron shells (without the green tea powder). If you’d like to decorate the tops of the shells with herbs, scatter them on just after piping out the macarons in step 8. After baking, match shells into pairs based on size and shape. Set the shells aside to cool.
2. Make the filling by placing the smoked salmon, cheese, lemon juice, and pepper into a food processor and processing until everything is evenly mixed. Mix in the chopped herbs gently with a rubber spatula.
3. Place the smoked salmon cheese filling into the piping bag. Fill one macaron shell from each pair with a 2 tsp dollop of the filling, then top with the other matching macaron shell.
