1 Prepare your mayonnaise, then peel and quickly grate your black radish, mixing it into the mayonnaise as you go to prevent it from turning dark. Taste and adjust seasoning, then chill for 15 minutes.
2 Arrange your 12 small blinis on a round plate. Top each one with a spoonful of the black radish mixture, then add a generous spoonful of salmon roe on top, and finish with a squeeze of lemon juice or a pinch of combava powder if you have it.
Serve with a crisp natural brut champagne or a well-chilled Alsatian crémant. The wasabi in the mayo and the iodine from the salmon roe call for dry bubbles. If you prefer a still wine, a Muscadet sur lie served at 8°C works beautifully, its acidity cuts through the richness of the mayo without overpowering the roe.
