For some reason, this smoked salmon crostini conjures up images of New Year's Eve in my mind's eye -- probably because they go so well with Champagne. But it might also be because they're easy to prep, they can be assembled quickly, and they have an air of elegance about them that is perfect for a special occasion.

Simple recipes like this demand high quality ingredients, so splurge on the smoked fish, don't substitute the creme fraiche, and definitely fry the capers. This was my first time frying capers, and it really changed my opinion about them. They become crispy, salty, and more subtle in their brininess. It's my new favorite caper technique.
