Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup dairy-free cream cheese
- 8 ounces smoked salmon
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 0.25 medium red onion
- 1 medium lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the slices of sourdough bread on a baking sheet. Drizzle them with extra-virgin olive oil.
Toast the bread in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes or until lightly browned and crispy.
While the bread is toasting, thinly slice the red onion and set aside. Chop the fresh dill and slice the lemon into wedges.
Once the bread is toasted, spread about 1/4 cup of dairy-free cream cheese evenly on each slice.
Layer 2 ounces of smoked salmon on top of the cream cheese on each piece of bread.
Garnish each slice with red onion slices, capers, and a sprinkle of black pepper.
Add a pinch of fresh dill on top for some herby freshness.
Serve each open-faced sandwich with a lemon wedge on the side for an optional fresh squeeze before enjoying.
