Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and grease a loaf pan with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and psyllium husk. Stir to blend thoroughly.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then add in the melted butter, heavy cream, and apple cider vinegar. Mix until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and mix until a batter forms. The batter will be thick, but ensure there are no lumps.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the bread has cooled, slice it into 8 equal pieces. Toast the slices lightly in a preheated oven or toaster if desired.
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with lemon juice and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture on each slice of the low-carb baguette.
Top each slice with a portion of smoked salmon.
Sprinkle capers over the salmon and garnish with chopped dill and thinly sliced red onion.
Add a small handful of arugula to finish. Drizzle with olive oil, if desired, for extra flavor.
Serve immediately as a delightful low-carb snack or meal.
