Traditionally, caviar is served on top of blinis, which are mini Russian pancakes made from buckwheat.The blinis act as an edible dish that has a discreet flavor. In this way, they are perfect for serving caviar as a canapé.

Another way is to serve it with crackers or crusty pieces of bread that add a nice crunch and allow the caviar flavor to pop.

They can also be served with lightly buttered bread or simple boiled potatoes; this increases the caviar’s flavor.

Other flavors that go well with caviar include chicken or quail eggs, raw onion, and creme fraiche.
You can make the eggs and finely chop the onion, then use it to coat the blinis with caviar and a small dollop of creme fraiche.

For its part, lemon does not work with caviar; the lemon juice is too overwhelming and clashes with caviar’s mineral flavor. It is also not fair to add salt or any other seasoning to caviar; it has a natural salty taste.

The smooth, creamy flavors work very well with caviar, which is why egg, creme fraiche, and blinis make a great side dish.

Besides, caviar is perfect for covering hot dishes such as pasta (a ravioli is a good option), risotto soups, and even sauces. Caviar cannot be cooked as its texture and flavor are destroyed. However, it can be served on an already cooked dish. Cheaper caviar-like colorful salmon roe and tobiko roe allow you to get creative without spending a fortune and are especially suitable for homemade sushi or as a side dish.
