Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Slice 1/2 loaf baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices and brush with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Toast on a baking sheet for 8-10 minutes until golden and crisp around edges.
  2. Step 2: While toasts bake, mix 1/4 cup cream cheese with 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over warm baguette slices. Top each with 1 ounce smoked salmon, 1 teaspoon capers, and a thin slice of lemon.
  4. Step 4: Garnish with additional fresh dill and serve immediately while toasts are still crisp.
