Step 1: In a 3 cup or larger bowl, whisk the 1st 8 ingredients to combine.
Step 2: Gradually add olive oil in a stream & whisk to combine well. Add salt & pepper to taste & refrigerate for 24 hours to allow flavors to blend. ... I prefer to use a wide-mouth jar w/screw-on lid plus my immersion blender to make & store this in a single step.
Step 3: Serving simply is the favored presentation - As a bruschetta-type appy where 1/2-in slices of baguette bread or thin-sliced rye bread are buttered (or spread w/cream cheese), topped w/very thinly sliced smoked salmon & then this sauce is spread over the salmon slices. A sprinkle of dry dill or a few tiny capers can be used as an optional garnish.
Step 4: HINT: For never-fail perfect slices of smoked salmon, freeze the salmon to a near frozen state & use your sharpest knife to shave slices as desired.
