It’s officially Spring and the weather is finally beautiful and nice! Lately, I’m all about easy recipes and I’m loving eating fresh cucumbers with smoked salmon.

Baked Salmon Cucumber Bites with Spicy Mayo!
After trying the smoked salmon, I thought baked salmon and spicy mayo would be magical. Mother’s Day is right around the corner and I feel like Spring is Brunch and entertaining season! Try these delicious and filling salmon bites and enjoy! If wanting to skip the cucumber, feel free to use crackers or even small toasted bread (crostini). I highly recommend adding the spicy mayo! These bites are everything: fresh and crisp because of the cucumber, spicy and creamy because of the spicy mayo, delicious and savory because of the baked salmon, sour, sweet and crunchy with the pickled red onions. It’s a joyous explosion in your mouth! You’ve got to try this!
Have you tried my pickled red onions yet? These are yet another way to enjoy them! If you give this recipe a try, let me know!

- Bake in the oven for 9 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
For the spicy mayo:
