For the Crepes:
- 1 1/2 cups chickpea flour
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (100°F)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
For the Filling:
- 4 oz smoked salmon
- 3 tbsp cream cheese (softened for easy spreading)
- 1 tbsp capers
- 1/4 small red onion thinly sliced
- 1/2 avocado sliced
- 1 tbsp fresh dill or chives chopped
- freshly ground black pepper
- Lemon wedges, for serving
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and warm water (100°F) until smooth. Slowly add the olive oil and stir just until combine, don’t over mix. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.

Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of oil and ensure the pan is fully heated before pouring in the batter. Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the pan, swirling to spread it evenly. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges lift slightly, then flip and cook for another 1 minute. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Spread a thin layer of softened cream cheese over each crepe. Add smoked salmon, avocado slices, capers, fresh herbs, and red onion.

Lemon wedges, for serving
- Use warm water (100°F) to help create a smooth batter and improve texture.
- Make sure the pan is hot before pouring the batter to prevent sticking.
- Rest the batter: Allowing the batter to rest for 5-10 minutes helps achieve a smoother texture and prevents the crepes from tearing.
- Adjust thickness: If the batter is too thick, add a little more water until it reaches a pourable consistency.
- Cooking tips: Cook the crepes on medium heat to avoid burning and to ensure they cook evenly.
- Storage: Leftover crepes can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
- Customizable: Feel free to swap the smoked salmon with your favorite protein, like cooked chicken or tofu, for a different flavor.
