Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 12 thin, even slices and arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Brush both sides of each slice lightly with olive oil and bake for 7-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and let cool.
In a small bowl, mix the goat cheese, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Spread a generous layer of the goat cheese mixture onto each toasted baguette slice.
Cut the smoked salmon into small strips and place a piece on top of the goat cheese spread on each crouton.
Garnish each crouton with a small sprig of fresh dill for a vibrant finishing touch.
Serve immediately as a sophisticated appetizer or snack.
