Directions:

Step 1: Prepare the Salmon

1. If using store-bought marinated poke salmon, skip to step 4. Otherwise, cut your de-thawed salmon into bite-sized pieces.

2. In a bowl, mix the salmon with soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil, chili paste, and lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

3. Let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator while you prepare other ingredients.

Step 2: Prep the Baguette

1. Slice the baguette diagonally into 1.5 cm-thick pieces.

2. Brush each slice with melted butter (add garlic for extra flavor if desired).

3. Bake at 350°F until lightly golden brown. Set aside to cool.

Step 3: Assemble the Appetizer

1. Spread a thin layer (about half a tablespoon) of French onion sour cream dip onto each baguette slice.

2. Add a spoonful of marinated salmon on top of the dip.

3. Garnish with corn, green onions, and optionally, jalapeño slices for a kick of heat.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

1. Arrange the assembled bites on a serving platter.

2. Pair with your favorite beverages and enjoy the compliments from your guests!
