Slice the red onion thinly and place it in a bowl.
Add white vinegar, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt to the onion. Stir well and let it sit for 10 minutes to create a quick-pickled red onion relish.
While the relish marinates, lightly toast the sourdough bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet with a small drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Spread cream cheese evenly over one side of each toasted sourdough slice.
Layer the smoked salmon onto two of the cream cheese-coated slices of bread.
Add a spoonful of the red onion relish on top of the smoked salmon, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle capers and freshly chopped dill over the relish for added flavor.
Season lightly with black pepper and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Top each sandwich with the remaining slices of sourdough bread, cream cheese side down.
Slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your smoked salmon sandwiches with red onion relish!
