Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place bread slices on a baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden and crisp around edges.
Step 2: While bread toasts, mix crème fraîche, 1 tbsp dill, lemon zest, and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 3: Remove bread from oven and let cool for 2 minutes. Spread 1 tbsp dill crème fraîche mixture evenly over each slice.
Step 4: Arrange smoked salmon slices over crème fraîche, overlapping slightly to cover the bread. Top with 1/2 tbsp capers per slice.
Step 5: Garnish with remaining 1 tsp dill and a light grind of black pepper. Serve immediately while bread is crisp.
