Ingredients

Quick-Pickled Red Onion (recipe, see right):

Method

Heat large skillet over medium heat. Cook spinach, half package at a time, stirring constantly, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer spinach to colander and let cool slightly, then squeeze to remove excess water. In large bowl, combine spinach and eggs; add flour and mix well. Gradually whisk in milk to make smooth paste. Season with salt and pepper. Heat 8-inch greased skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup spinach mixture and spread lightly with back of spoon. Cook until set and edge is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking for 1 minute. Transfer to plate; cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter. Makes 4 thick crêpes. (Make-ahead: Can be stored in airtight container and refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.)

In small bowl, stir together sour cream, 2 tbsp chives, parsley, dill and oil. Season with salt and pepper. Place each crêpe on a plate. Top with herbed cream, smoked salmon and Quick-Pickled Red Onion. Sprinkle with remaining chives. Serve with lemon wedges.
