Spread a small amount of crème fraîche, sour cream, or cream cheese onto a sea salt potato chip.
Top the crème fraîche with a spoonful of salmon roe.
Serve immediately and enjoy.
Assemble within 30 minutes of serving to prevent chips from softening. Store unassembled components separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
Assemble no more than 30 minutes before serving to keep chips crisp. Layer components separately and combine just before plating.
Crème fraîche has a richer, less tangy flavor that complements salmon roe better, but sour cream works in a pinch—use slightly less as it's more acidic.
Crispy flatbread, rice crackers, or crostini work well, though sea salt chips are traditional and complement the roe's brininess best.
Plan ¼ to ½ teaspoon (about 3–5 roe per chip) for visual appeal and balanced flavor without overwhelming the crème fraîche base.
Yes, if using certified gluten-free potato chips. Verify the chip brand's labeling, as some may include gluten-containing additives.
