• Cook Time: 0 minutes
• Total Time: 10 minutes
• Servings: 4
• Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 4 slices of artisan or whole grain bread, toasted
• 200g (about 7 oz) cream cheese, softened
• 200g (about 7 oz) smoked salmon, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons capers, drained
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• Fresh dill, for garnish
• Lemon wedges, for serving
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Toast the slices of bread to your desired level of crispiness.
2. While the bread is toasting, prepare the toppings. Slice the red onion thinly and drain the capers.
3. Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous layer of softened cream cheese on each slice.
4. Top the cream cheese with layers of thinly sliced smoked salmon.
5. Scatter the capers and red onion slices evenly over the smoked salmon.
6. Garnish each toast with fresh dill and a grind of black pepper.
7. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh, zesty touch.

Helpful Tips

• Tip: For added flavor, you can mix some finely chopped fresh dill into the cream cheese before spreading it on the toast. You can also use any type of bread you prefer, but a slightly dense and chewy bread provides the best base for the toppings.
• Variation: Try adding some thinly sliced cucumbers or avocados for extra texture and freshness.
• Storage: It’s best to assemble the toasts just before serving to maintain the texture and freshness. However, the ingredients can be prepared and kept separately in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Substitution: If you don’t have capers, pickled onions or olives can also be used to add a bit of tanginess.

Pairings and Complementary Dishes

This Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese Toast pairs wonderfully with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice or a cup of herbal tea. For a fuller brunch, serve it alongside a fresh fruit salad or a simple green salad with a zesty lemon dressing.
