Ingredients
- 200 grams Smoked Salmon
- 4 slices Bread (sliced, such as sourdough or rye)
- 200 grams Cream Cheese
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Dill
- 0.5 Lemon
- 0 to taste Black Pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing your bread slices. If using sourdough or rye, it's best to lightly toast or grill them for a more robust flavor. Heat a grill pan or toaster to medium heat and toast the bread until each side is golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Step 2
While the bread is toasting, in a small bowl, soften the cream cheese by leaving it at room temperature or giving it a slight mix with a spoon.
Step 3
Finely chop the fresh dill (keeping a few sprigs aside for garnishing) and mix it into the cream cheese for an aromatic touch. Add black pepper to the cream cheese mixture according to your taste.
Step 4
Once the bread slices are toasted, place them on a serving platter. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over each slice.
Step 5
Generously spread the dill cream cheese mixture onto each slice of warm bread.
Step 6
Carefully layer the smoked salmon over the cream cheese, dividing it evenly between the bread slices.
Step 7
Sprinkle the capers over the smoked salmon, allowing a few to rest artfully on each slice.
Step 8
Cut the half lemon into wedges. Squeeze a splash of fresh lemon juice over each slice to enhance the flavors.
Step 9
Garnish with the reserved dill sprigs for an attractive finish.
Step 10
Serve immediately, allowing guests to enjoy the combination of textures and flavors.
