Smoked Salmon - Not all smoked salmon is the same, so use what you enjoy. We buy the ready-to-eat packets from Seabear. We love their salmon and the little individual packets can be stored in the pantry without taking up a lot of space. Each packet has just enough juice to add some to this appetizer and to share the rest with the cat.
Capers - The amount of capers you use if really based on your personal taste. Even Bobby and I disagree on the amount of capers. He likes more than I do, but I find more than 2 tsp. makes this appetizer too salty. So start with 2 tsp. and go up from there.
Mayonnaise - The mayonnaise is used to just hold things together so you can transfer it to a cracker; that is why you only need 1 teaspoon. If the salmon doesn't have any juice with it, then you might need to add a little more mayonnaise.
Crackers - We've eaten this with several different types of crackers and most any cracker works. And as I mentioned before, slices of apples can also be used in place of crackers. You could also put it on a bagel. When I do this, I'll substitute the mayonnaise with 3 Tbsp. of cream cheese spread so that it sticks to the bagel better.
