Method

STARTERS

  1. 1

    Make horseradish cream

    In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, prepared horseradish, lemon juice, and salt until the horseradish cream is smooth and evenly mixed. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare salmon

    Pat the smoked salmon slices dry with paper towels and arrange them on a plate for easy access during assembly.

  3. 3

    Warm skillet

    Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add butter and let it melt, swirling to coat the surface.

  4. 4

    Assemble quesadillas

    On each tortilla, spread a thin layer of horseradish cream, sprinkle cheddar cheese, lay two smoked salmon slices, and top with a little more cheddar. Top with a second tortilla. Repeat for all quesadillas.

  5. 5

    Cook quesadillas

    Fry each quesadilla in the buttered skillet until the bottom is golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Carefully flip and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes, until cheese is melted and filling is heated through.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Transfer cooked quesadillas to a cutting board. Let rest 1-2 minutes, then slice into wedges. Garnish with chopped dill if using and serve with any remaining horseradish cream on the side.
