Toast the bread slices until they are golden brown and crispy. This will provide a nice crunchy base for your toppings.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with black pepper. Add a teaspoon of lemon juice for a slight tang, and stir until smooth.
Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each toasted slice of bread.
Layer the smoked salmon evenly on top of the cream cheese-covered bread slices.
Distribute cucumber slices over the smoked salmon.
Garnish with capers scattered over the top and add a few sprigs of fresh dill for each slice.
Finish with an additional squeeze of lemon juice for extra freshness.
Serve immediately as a delicious open-faced sandwich, perfect for any time of the day.
