Step 1
Start by toasting the whole grain bread slices until they are golden and crisp. You can do this either in a toaster or under the broiler for a few minutes.

While the bread is toasting, prepare the toppings. Thinly slice half of a small red onion and set aside.

In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with the lemon zest, half of the dill (finely chopped), salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Step 5
Spread a generous layer of the seasoned cream cheese mixture over each toasted slice of bread.
Step 6
Layer slices of smoked salmon evenly on top of the cream cheese.
Step 7
Sprinkle a few capers over the salmon, and then add a few slices of the red onion.
Step 8
Drizzle a small amount of the fresh lemon juice over each slice for a burst of freshness.
Step 9
Garnish each open-faced sandwich with the remaining dill sprigs.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a tasty, sophisticated dish that's sure to impress at any brunch or lunch gathering.
