Directions
1. Infuse the olive oil: In a sauce pan, heat 1 cup olive oil until a few small bubbles start forming. Then add rosemary and peppercorn off the heat. Let steep until oil is cold.
2. Meanwhile peel and cut carrots into thin slices. Peel and mince the onion. Cut the smoked salmon into 2 to 3 inch pieces.
3. Combine in a large dish and fill a jar with this mixture and cover with infused olive oil.
4. Close the lid and store in the refrigerator for one or two days before serving, time to allow the flavors to blend together. Keep up to one week in the refrigerator. Serve on toasted bread with a drizzle of lemon juice, or as a carpaccio to start a dinner.

Making today. There’s no mention of when to add the bay leaf though it pretty obvious.
