Ingredients

• 200 grams Fresh salmon fillet (skinless)
• 100 grams Cream cheese
• 50 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 large Baguette
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 whole Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Chives (finely chopped, optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Brush both sides of each baguette slice with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Toast the baguette slices in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden and crisp. Remove them and gently rub each slice with a peeled garlic clove while still warm. Set aside.

Step 4

While the baguette slices are toasting, prepare the salmon pâté. In a pot of boiling, lightly salted water, cook the salmon fillet for 3-4 minutes, or until fully opaque and cooked through. Remove it and let it cool slightly.

Step 5

Using a fork, flake the cooked salmon into small pieces, discarding any remaining bones.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, cream cheese, butter, chopped dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 7

To assemble, spread a generous layer of the salmon pâté over each toasted baguette slice.

Step 8

Optional: Sprinkle finely chopped chives on top for a pop of color and flavor.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy this elegant appetizer!
