Potato crisps with smoked salmon, Boursin and salted lemon

Ingredients for 10 appetizers:

• 2 tablespoons Boursin
• 10 pieces Kettle chips (or bake your own fresh potato chips)
• 150 grams smoked salmon (preferably uncut)
• 10 grams salted lemon
• Chervil as garnish

Salted lemon can be bought in a jar in most supermarkets, but making it yourself is nice and tasty.

Homemade salted lemon:

• It's very easy; take a couple of lemons, cut them along the top cross almost all the way through, fill them with coarse salt and put them in a preserving jar, fill the preserving jar with more salt.
• Leave the jar for at least three months.
• The outer shell is the only part that is going to be used. Break off one part of the lemon. Cut the inside all the way so no white is left on the shell. Rinse the shell in a bowl with clean water. Dry the salted citron with a little paper and now the lemon is ready for use.

Method:

1. Cut the salmon in 10 slices, appropriate on the potato chips.
2. Make a quenelle of Boursin with 2 wet tablespoons and lay it on the salmon.
3. Place 1 piece of the salted lemon on it.
4. Garnish the appetizers with a sprig of chervil.
