Pro Tips
Pair it Up
This elegant nibble deserves a wine to match, so pop open a bottle of sparkling prosecco, cava, or champagne and enjoy! You can find stellar examples of each for under $20.
Level It Up
Lean into the simple elegance of this dish by garnishing each toast with a spoonful of caviar. American paddlefish caviar is a budget-friendly option, but if you really want to get fancy, go for osetra.
Change It Up
Fold any leftover sablefish mixture into soft-scrambled eggs and serve with thick slabs of toasted multigrain bread for a killer breakfast.
Lighten It Up
Reduced fat sour cream or yogurt reduces the fat and calorie count, but doesn’t have the same silky texture as crème fraîche or sour cream.
