Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Smoked Salmon
- 4 slices Bread (sliced, such as sourdough or rye)
- 200 grams Cream Cheese
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Dill
- 0.5 Lemon
- to taste Black Pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
Instructions
Begin by preparing your bread slices. If using sourdough or rye, it's best to lightly toast or grill them for a more robust flavor. Heat a grill pan or toaster to medium heat and toast the bread until each side is golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
While the bread is toasting, in a small bowl, soften the cream cheese by leaving it at room temperature or giving it a slight mix with a spoon.
Finely chop the fresh dill (keeping a few sprigs aside for garnishing) and mix it into the cream cheese for an aromatic touch. Add black pepper to the cream cheese mixture according to your taste.
Once the bread slices are toasted, place them on a serving platter. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over each slice.
Generously spread the dill cream cheese mixture onto each slice of warm bread.
Carefully layer the smoked salmon over the cream cheese, dividing it evenly between the bread slices.
Sprinkle the capers over the smoked salmon, allowing a few to rest artfully on each slice.
Cut the half lemon into wedges. Squeeze a splash of fresh lemon juice over each slice to enhance the flavors.
Garnish with the reserved dill sprigs for an attractive finish.
Serve immediately, allowing guests to enjoy the combination of textures and flavors.
